2020 has taught us that health IT must evolve at a rapid pace to meet the needs of patients and providers. Creating a seamlessly connected world is key to breakthrough innovation.

The Cerner Open Developer Experience (code) program encourages third-party vendors and care organizations to build apps on top of Cerner technology that can quickly advance the health industry through improved interoperability capabilities.

In our three-part podcast series,code Talks, tech leaders share their insights around advancing care through collaboration and open and interoperable health ecosystems.

In this episode, we hear from Aaron Sheedy, chief operating officer and co-founder ofXealth, a platform that enablesclinicianstointegrate, prescribe and monitordigitalhealth tools forpatientsfrom one location in the electronic health record (EHR).
