Episode 240: From Local Exchange to Statewide Impact: The SCHIO–Manifest MedEx Model for Whole-Person Data Sharing

From the recently concluded Winter Forum, Michael is joined by Adam Harrison, Chief Business Development Officer at Manifest MedEx, and Dan Chavez, Executive Director of the Serving Communities Health Information Organization (SCHIO), to discuss their organizations’ new strategic affiliation and what it means for the future of data sharing in California. Together, they explore how SCHIO and Manifest MedEx are building a more connected, person-centered data ecosystem—integrating clinical, behavioral, social, and claims data to support whole-person care. The conversation highlights the real-world impact on communities across Santa Cruz, the Bay Area, and beyond, including improved care coordination, greater health equity, and a more seamless patient experience.
