Healthcare isn't lacking in big ideas or innovation, but the real story lives in the gap between what’s promised and what actually works.
Welcome to Kno2fy. Join Kno2’s Therasa Bell and Whitney Cole as they bring together the voices shaping healthcare. From industry leaders and policymakers to the people doing the real work behind the scenes. Each episode will dive into the challenges, innovations, and uncomfortable truths that sit at the intersection of today’s problems and tomorrow’s care.
Bringing Oral Health into the Connected Care Ecosystem: With CareQuest Innovation Partners
Dental care has long been treated as separate from the rest of healthcare, but oral health is deeply connected to overall health. So what happens when the information providers need stays separated, too?
In this episode of Kno2fy, Therasa Bell and Whitney Cole sit down with Laura Arias, Senior Manager of Innovation Programs and Services at CareQuest Innovation Partners, to explore the gap between dental and medical care and what it will take to bring oral health into the connected care ecosystem.
Laura and Therasa get into why dental has historically remained disconnected from broader health information infrastructure, what that separation can mean for patients and providers, and where technology can help close the gap. The conversation also explores the CareQuest and Kno2 partnership, the role of dental EDRs and PMSs, and how a scalable national infrastructure could make medical-dental exchange more accessible.
Most importantly, they look beyond simply connecting systems to ask what becomes possible when information can finally move with the patient.

What Happens When Therapy Becomes Discoverable? With Raintree Systems
What changes when therapy providers are no longer invisible in healthcare data exchange?
In this episode of Kno2fy, Therasa Bell and Whitney Cole are joined again by Carrie Myers, VP of Enterprise Transformation at Raintree Systems, to explore what happens when therapy practices become discoverable, connected and able to participate more fully in healthcare data exchange.
The conversation gets into what “discoverability” actually means for therapy practices, why traditional provider directories weren’t built to support organizations like therapy clinics, and how embedded interoperability can make clinical information available without adding another layer of work for providers.
Carrie and Therasa also discuss the growing role of connected data in AI, trustworthy clinical data, how patient expectations are changing, and what healthcare organizations should be asking technology vendors as they plan for the future.
Because the goal of interoperability isn’t simply to move more data. It’s to make the right information available to the right people, in the right place, when they need it.

What Your Dentist Doesn't Know Can Hurt You: With Andy Taylor
Dental and medical care may serve the same patient, but the systems behind them often operate worlds apart. In this episode of Kno2fy, co-hosts Therasa Bell and Whitney Cole sit down with Andy Taylor, CIO of Children’s Surgery Centers, to unpack the patient and provider impact of the divide between dental and medical interoperability.
They discuss what medical-to-dental referrals look like today and the patient safety risks that come when dentists don't have access to the information they need. From stale referral lists and paper handoffs to medications, allergies, and clinical histories, the conversation explores what it could look like as we start to bring dental into the broader healthcare information exchange.
The good news? We aren't starting from scratch. The infrastructure already exists to connect dental with the rest of healthcare and the opportunity to finally bring these pieces together is here.
