Standard
LOS
ANGELES, May 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/
-- Consensus Cloud Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: CCSI), a global
leader of digital cloud fax technology and trusted provider of
interoperability solutions, proudly announces that DirectTrust's
Interoperable Secure Cloud Fax Consensus Body has elected Consensus
Chief Technology Officer, Jeffrey
Sullivan, as its Chairperson. Sullivan will steer the
efforts of the Consensus Body to establish a new ANSI standard
meant to enhance existing fax protocols while opening the path for
modern fax workflows that can be seamlessly integrated with a
health system's comprehensive interoperability approach.
DirectTrust®, a non-profit healthcare industry
alliance, standards development, and accreditation body focused on
advancing trust in healthcare, launched the Interoperable Secure
Cloud Fax Consensus Body earlier this year. The goal of this
initiative is to develop a new standard that allows industries
heavily dependent on fax communication to leverage the advantages
of modern interoperability frameworks without disrupting existing
infrastructure.
Sullivan's election to this role reflects his accomplishments
and leadership in the healthcare technology space and leverages his
background at Consensus developing innovative solutions for secure
data exchange. Scott Stuewe,
DirectTrust President and CEO, said, "Jeffrey Sullivan's involvement in the workgroup
that preceded and scoped this standards work demonstrated his
knowledge of the subject matter and his understanding of how to
drive a transparent and inclusive process consistent with our
history. His understanding of the healthcare ecosystem, secure
cloud fax solutions, and his dedication to advancing
interoperability make him a great choice to lead the charge
alongside other experts in this space. We look forward to working
closely with him and the rest of this group to develop standards
and best practices that will improve the exchange of healthcare
information."
"I am honored to have been elected Chair of DirectTrust's
Interoperable Secure Cloud Fax Consensus Body. True
interoperability must take into account the need to accommodate
organizations regardless of where they are in their technology
journey," said Sullivan. "It has been a core mission at Consensus
to support equitable information exchange and bridge the gap
between care settings by leveraging the advantages and practicality
of digital cloud fax. By creating this new standard, we are all
making interoperability more accessible while reinforcing cloud fax
as a highly secure and reliable means of communication."
Sullivan previously chaired the working group that recommended
the establishment of the Interoperable Secure Cloud Fax Consensus
Body. Learn more about the Interoperable Secure Cloud Fax
