J2 Interactions: Healthy Systems=Healthy Humans | May '25 



Healthcare is in the air.

Spring never fails to remind me to schedule my annual health check. Maybe it’s the allergies, maybe it’s the increased physical labor in the garden or on the hiking trail- something about spring just feels like healthcare.

And I’m not the only one. NCQA is gearing up for their next data aggregator validation cohort—are you signed up?

The InterSystems Global Summit: Ready 2025, our annual congregation for advancing healthcare through technology, is less than a month away.

HL7 Vulcan, a FHIR accelerator, just announced a webinar featuring 5 trailblazing ways to use FHIR in clinical research.

J2 is going the extra mile to support vulnerable families through our Healthy Systems, Healthy Humans effort. Annual health checks are critical—for humans and for tech systems. So to ensure both those boxes are checked in 2025, we’re supporting a family’s annual health check for every Systems Health Check we perform now through July.

I’ve scheduled my annual health check, have you?
