Launched by The Sequoia Project in 2018, Interoperability Matters engages experts from across the healthcare and healthcare IT communities to identify, prioritize, and collaborate on the most pressing, discrete challenges to nationwide health information sharing.
The Interoperability Matters Steering Committee brings together members of The Sequoia Project and diverse perspectives from leaders in health IT. The committee prioritizes discrete barriers in health information exchange which benefit from national-level, public-private collaboration.

Workgroup recommendations are also shared with the Interoperability Matters Public Advisory Forum to seek input from those impacted by the work. The forum enables the community to share tools, resources and best practices and provides a venue for policy makers to hear diverse perspectives in real-time.
Interoperability Matters channels end user needs and priorities and coordinates efforts into a cohesive set of strategic interoperability directions. The final work product is a consensus-built resource and plan of action for the healthcare sector to leverage and implement to minimize or eliminate that particular barrier to exchange.
