Hello BCDA Community,
Join CMS July 14-16, 2026, at the virtual CMS HL7 FHIR Connectathon!
While BCDA will not have a track this year, we're exited to share that the Blue Button API team will host a track where participants can test the latest version of the CMS Aligned Networks Individual Access Services (IAS) patient calls.
You will also get the opportunity to provide feedback and talk with the team that develops the API.
Register for the Connectathon by June 30, 2026.
Additional details about this session are below. We hope to see you there!

CMS Aligned Networks Individual Access Requests track.
On April 9, CMS announced the release of the CMS Aligned Networks. Currently available to a limited set of entities, CMS will expand access to the Network in the coming months. As part of this expansion, we are adding several new features for testing. We look forward to testing these improvements with both existing and prospective network participants.
- Test out new format for IAS ID tokens
- Test out new audit log functionality
- Learn about additional documentation available
- Join the conversation in the Google Group for Blue Button API
