Trump administration’s top health officials are expected to meet with several tech companies at the White House on Wednesday as part of a plan to facilitate more seamless healthcare data sharing, Bloomberg News reported, citing people familiar with the matter.
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Mehmet Oz, Administrator of the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), are expected to meet with the executives to discuss the plan developed in coordination with the White House.
The people refused to provide the names of the tech executives scheduled to attend the event, which follows a recent CMS initiative aimed at leveraging technology to help Medicare enrollees access the latest health technologies.
Arda Kara, a former Palantir (PLTR) executive who joined CMS this year as a senior advisor for technology, leads the initiative with acting administrator of DOGE Amy Gleason, whose prior experiences include senior roles at the medical records company, Veradigm (OTC:MDRX).
At the event, tech companies will commit to a voluntary framework based on interoperability under which different healthcare systems interconnect for data sharing, the people said, requesting anonymity as the details are not yet public.
