Kno2 has been designated as a Qualified Health Information Network™ (QHIN) by the Recognized Coordinating Entity® under the Trusted Exchange Framework and Common AgreementSM (TEFCASM), demonstrating our continued commitment to enable health information exchange for all.
Kno2 is providing QHIN-as-another-service to our partners.
Kno2’s mission is to democratize healthcare communication, allowing for frictionless flow of relevant information across the healthcare ecosystem.
Long an innovative thought leader dedicated to advancing meaningful healthcare connectivity, we have taken an approach consistent with our purpose to democratize healthcare information exchange by offering QHIN as a service integrated to our API. Additionally, through our longstanding relationship with ONC, we have played an instrumental role in the development of TEFCA/QHIN, sitting on the Common Agreement Workgroup to define the technical requirements. We’ve been constantly working with the ONC on payment/operations, individual access, QHIN technical framework updates, and Common Agreement updates. In addition, we have been an advocate for our unique partner base that aren’t represented in these discussions.
Simple, yet Comprehensive: We offer one API to send, receive, and find across the entire ecosystem of networks, platforms, and EHRs.
Affordable: We believe nationwide interoperability is essential to fixing healthcare’s biggest problems, and our pricing structure reflects our commitment.
Stateless, Realtime Data Exchange: Single Communication API for connectivity everywhere, avoiding the limitations and competition of our own patient data repository.
Private Label: We position connectivity as a business/revenue enhancement for our partners.
QHIN-as-a-service: QHIN as an additional connectivity option in our Communication API is the best strategy to address partners’ needs.
Provider Communication Directory: Consolidation of national and local provider communication preferences into a single directory API.
We are working with current and future partners for our designated QHIN-as-another-service offering soon to be available. We’ve merged our strategic goals with ONC’s timeline for designation (see below), and we are ahead schedule.
Kno2 thoughtfully crafted a designation timeline that synced our strategic and product goals, as well as customer needs, while conforming with the timeline provided by the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) in 02/2022. We are excited to announce, as of 02/08/2024, Kno2 has been designated as a Qualified Health Information Network (QHIN) by Recognized Coordinating Entity®.
We have successfully completed all requirements for Designation and were provided access to the production directory. Our next exciting milestone will be Production QHIN Exchange!
Our unique approach will give QHIN services to all who have integrated to our APIs with no additional technical lift or complexity for them. Contact us today to learn more!
“Rarely do you find a partner who checks every box you’re looking for. Kno2 is that partner to WellSky. They are innovative, responsive and frankly, thought leaders we highly respect. WellSky, and our clients are better because of Kno2’s commitment to excellence in the field of interoperability.”
From its inception, Kno2 has connected every meaningful network and endpoint involved in the exchange of patient information, and in turn has become the most expansive and comprehensive communication network available in healthcare today, unifying and centralizing complete clinical exchange workflows in a single solution. Our QHIN connection will be developed within our existing Communication API, simplifying the effort required by new and existing technology vendors and providers to participate in TEFCA.
Kno2’s passion to democratize health information exchange for all includes connecting and representing the needs of historically overlooked healthcare segments including post-acute, therapies, EMS, vision, dental, behavioral health, specialty providers and others. Kno2’s current network is already connected to 80% of the EHRs supporting these care settings, thus making access to the complete patient record possible, regardless of the communication preference of each provider.
Since our founding, Kno2 has been providing thought leadership to the industry and interoperability space as evidenced through its influence and contribution to current standards and networks. Related to TEFCA/AHIN, Kno2 has provided early, lasting, and active participation in the Common Framework Workgroup demonstrating continued influence in the realization and evolution of TEFCA.
Kno2 is integrating the QHIN technical framework (QTF) into its existing API. Doing so provides QHIN exchange with no additional technical lift for those already integrated to the Kno2 API. If you're connected to our API, you have QHIN services. Our commitment is and has always been to remove the complexity of connectivity and future-proof our partners so that they are always able to communicate everywhere.
With the integration of QHIN services to our API, we are the most tenured and comprehensive communication network, and every new connectivity effort has been approached with thoughtful design and innovation around the core tenants of SEND, RECEIVE, and FIND. Taking the complexity out of connecting to the entire healthcare ecosystem through a single integration.
All too often in healthcare, individual connections pop up in a´ la carte fashion when a new way of sharing patient information arises. This should not be the case. Our QHIN connection will be developed within our existing Communication API, simplifying the effort required by new and existing technology vendors and providers to participate in TEFCA.
Kno2 has an entire foundation established for optimized sending, receiving and finding patient information already within the platform. For us, QHIN designation goes well beyond doing the fundamental work required by TEFCA. This effort will be about maximizing the value of the workflows each participant receives from QHIN-to-QHIN exchange. We will not lose our focus to innovation as we ensure adoption and the best experience not only to our partners and customers, but other QHINs we connect to, their customers and all of healthcare.
Kno2’s comprehensive, yet flexible, network addresses every exchange workflow, giving developers and providers the freedom to streamline communications broadly and connect everywhere. Quickly transition disparate workflows into centralized and streamlined communications customized to your organization, improving staff efficiency and patient care.
Imagine making one simple connection to our network and being able to communicate across healthcare effortlessly. Kno2’s ingenuity has made this possible by tackling the heavy lift of connecting to multiple networks and end points involved in the exchange of patient information. Our innovation continues with our pursuit to QHIN designation as we seek to maximize the communication and workflows through the platform, ensuring the greatest adoption of interoperability, ultimately improving the patient and provider experience.
Gain streamlined access to all of healthcare’s major networks and interoperability frameworks through one easy connection.
