Scott Stuewe

Scott Stuewe is a 25-year veteran of the healthcare information technology industry with a focus on strategy, business development, network creation and interoperability. In his tenure at Cerner Corporation, he drove the company’s campaign to transform how healthcare data is exchanged by fostering a vendor-led national data sharing network – CommonWell Health Alliance from its inception. As a participant in alliance governance, he personally recruited large companies and complex healthcare organizations to participate by joining the alliance or by deploying alliance services. The campaign gained the support of a majority of Cerner’s largest enterprise clients and 70% of the acute EHR market. The quest to enable a patient’s data to be securely portable climaxed in December of 2016 with the landmark agreement between CommonWell and Carequality. When this bridge is complete it will enable query connections between all the network participants in the two initiatives that together represent over 90% of acute EHR systems.

Until his departure from Cerner in January, Scott represented the company speaking to national and regional industry groups and to governmental agencies with the goal of advancing development and adoption of healthcare exchange standards and technologies. His participation in the alliance caps a long history of working to create connections between diverse healthcare constituencies. Working within the company to forge new partnerships, business models and technologies that enable interaction across business boundaries, he helped to lay the groundwork for fundamental paradigm shifts in HIT. As a passionate and visionary expert in the business, political, architectural and compliance aspects of healthcare data exchange, he continues to offer his services to organizations that are navigating the new world of enhanced data liquidity, advancing patient engagement and increasing expectations for the portability and usability of health data.
