This week’s episode is the first part of our new podcast series around Interoperability. Joining host Chuck Feerick on the program is Niko Skievaski, the Co-founder and President of Redox. Based in Madison Wisconsin, Niko started Redox in 2014 to reduce barriers to entry in healthcare technology and has thus created a Modern API for EHR integration. Niko is a board member and co-founder of 100State, Wisconsin’s largest co-working space as well as co-founding BreadcrumbsQA, a searchable Q&A knowledge management platform originally deployed at Epic.
