Acknowledgements T2
The working groups in the three regions of the Markle Connecting for Health prototype and the Technical Subcommittee have worked for over two years to create a prototype of a decentralized, standards-based, and privacy-protecting architecture for the exchange of health records. During that time, we have been fortunate to work with respected experts in the fields of health and information technology, all of whom have contributed their time, energy, and expertise to the transition from a basic set of principles to a working prototype. Our consultants and volunteers have worked long hours in meetings and conference calls to negotiate high-level questions of architectural design and low-level details of particular technical protocols. We offer them our heartfelt thanks for taking on this journey with us, and look forward to the remaining work ahead.
In addition, we would like to offer special thanks to the working groups who took the conceptual technical model and instantiated it as running code: for the Massachusetts test, John Halamka, Greg DeBor, Gail Fournier, Vinod Muralidhar, and John Calladine; for the Indiana test, J. Marc Overhage, Clement McDonald, Lonnie Blevins, and Andrew Martin; and for the California test, Will Ross and Don Grodecki.
Finally, we must note that none of this work would have been possible without the leadership and inspiration of Clay Shirky, who encouraged us to turn theory into practice, and whose unmatched skills at navigating and then capturing each progressive phase of our work over the last two years allowed us to do so.
