Anthropic Signs CMS Health Tech Ecosystem Pledge to Advance Healthcare Interoperability

Anthropic has signed the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Health Tech Ecosystem Pledge, a public-private initiative to modernize healthcare data sharing and improve interoperability. The company plans to leverage Claude and the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to bridge incompatible health data systems, enabling AI assistants to securely access patient data from CMS Aligned Networks and personal health records with patient consent. CPO Mike Krieger framed the effort as applying Anthropic's existing interoperability solutions to the longstanding problem of healthcare data silos.
