    Bringing Oral Health into the Connected Care Ecosystem: With CareQuest Innovation Partners

    Dental care has long been treated as separate from the rest of healthcare, but oral health is deeply connected to overall health. So what happens when the information providers need stays separated, too? In this episode of Kno2fy, Therasa Bell and Whitney Cole sit down with Laura Arias, Senior Manager of Innovation Programs and Services at CareQuest Innovation Partners, to explore the gap between dental and medical care and what it will take to bring oral health into the connected care ecosystem. Laura and Therasa get into why dental has historically remained disconnected from broader health information infrastructure, what that separation can mean for patients and providers, and where technology can help close the gap. The conversation also explores the CareQuest and Kno2 partnership, the role of dental EDRs and PMSs, and how a scalable national infrastructure could make medical-dental exchange more accessible. Most importantly, they look beyond simply connecting systems to ask what becomes possible when information can finally move with the patient. Timestamps 00:37 – Meet Laura Arias & the CareQuest Innovation Partners 04:04 – Why Dental Care Became Disconnected From Healthcare 06:22 – What Dental Can Teach Us About Healthcare Connectivity 10:31 – What’s at Stake When Dental & Medical Data Don’t Connect 14:51 – Bringing Dentists Into the Broader Care Team 18:06 – Why Dental Data Still Isn’t Flowing 20:56 – How QHINs Can Connect Dental & Medical Care at Scale 25:22 – Inside the CareQuest + Kno2 Partnership 30:38 – The Role of Dental Software & What Success Looks Like 37:31 – Beyond Interoperability: What Could Connected Dental Care Unlock?

    What Happens When Therapy Becomes Discoverable? With Raintree Systems

    What changes when therapy providers are no longer invisible in healthcare data exchange? In this episode of Kno2fy, Therasa Bell and Whitney Cole are joined again by Carrie Myers, VP of Enterprise Transformation at Raintree Systems, to explore what happens when therapy practices become discoverable, connected and able to participate more fully in healthcare data exchange. The conversation gets into what “discoverability” actually means for therapy practices, why traditional provider directories weren’t built to support organizations like therapy clinics, and how embedded interoperability can make clinical information available without adding another layer of work for providers. Carrie and Therasa also discuss the growing role of connected data in AI, trustworthy clinical data, how patient expectations are changing, and what healthcare organizations should be asking technology vendors as they plan for the future. Because the goal of interoperability isn’t simply to move more data. It’s to make the right information available to the right people, in the right place, when they need it.

    What Your Dentist Doesn't Know Can Hurt You: With Andy Taylor

    Dental and medical care may serve the same patient, but the systems behind them often operate worlds apart. In this episode of Kno2fy, co-hosts Therasa Bell and Whitney Cole sit down with Andy Taylor, CIO of Children’s Surgery Centers, to unpack the patient and provider impact of the divide between dental and medical interoperability. They discuss what medical-to-dental referrals look like today and the patient safety risks that come when dentists don't have access to the information they need. From stale referral lists and paper handoffs to medications, allergies, and clinical histories, the conversation explores what it could look like as we start to bring dental into the broader healthcare information exchange. The good news? We aren't starting from scratch. The infrastructure already exists to connect dental with the rest of healthcare and the opportunity to finally bring these pieces together is here. Timestamps 00:37 - Introduction to Andy Taylor 01:54 - Why Dental Software is Notoriously Difficult to Connect 05:52 - The Different Languages of Medical and Dental Care 07:24 - Medical-to-Dental Referrals Today 08:47 - Stale, Bulk Referral Lists 15:45 - What Connected Dental Could Look Like 16:21 - Why Dentists Need Access 18:45 - What Referrals Should Look Like 24:27 - Why We're Even Debating This Hosted by: Therasa Bell and Whitney Cole Produced by: Jess Garman A Kno2 Podcast

    Expanding Interoperability Beyond Acute Care: with Raintree Systems

    Physical therapy is often grouped into the broader healthcare conversation, but delivering therapy is fundamentally different from delivering primary or acute care. So why has the industry spent so long trying to fit it into technology that wasn't built for it? In this episode of Kno2fy, co-hosts Therasa Bell and Whitney Cole are joined by Carrie Myers, VP of Enterprise Transformation at Raintree Systems, for a conversation about the unique realities of therapy and rehabilitation. Together, they explore why therapists have historically been left behind by healthcare technology, how disconnected systems create unnecessary work for clinicians, and why interoperability should be measured by better patient care, not simply by the movement of data. From reducing administrative burden to creating more connected patient experiences, this discussion highlights why understanding therapy is essential to building a healthcare system that truly works for everyone. Timestamps 00:37 - Introduction to Raintree & Carrie Myers 04:11 - Therapy vs Primary Care 06:05 - Healthcare Beyond Hospitals & Physicians 09:38 - How Health Tech Left Therapy Behind 10:01 - The Digital Divide Created by Meaningful Use 13:50 - The Real Cost of Disconnected Information 15:15 - Therapist Burnout & Administrative Burden 19:25 - What Changes when Therapy is Connected 24:36 - What Providers Shouldn't have to Understand 26:14 - Improving Care Hosted by: Therasa Bell and Whitney Cole Produced by: Jess Garman A Kno2 Podcast
