Health IT Interoperability

Vangent is a leader in establishing new
capabilities for health information interoperability, providing innovative strategies that bring critical Federal health IT efforts together for the first time.


We play an integral role in supporting the Office of the National Coordinator (ONC) for Health Information Technology's mandate that most Americans have interoperable electronic health records (EHRs) within 10 years. Vangent serves as the Program Management Office for the Federal Health Architecture (FHA), a program within ONC that coordinates Federal efforts to create interoperable exchanges of electronic health information. We lead CONNECT, an FHA initiative to link Federal agencies to the Nationwide Health Information Network (NHIN), a "network of networks" that will connect existing efforts to exchange EHRs at the local and regional levels, ensuring both interoperability and confidentiality.

Vangent provides the consulting, technical solution, and operations support to electronically move information between disparate health care information systems while maintaining the integrity of the information being exchanged. This results in improved quality of care and increased administrative efficiencies.
