Kno2 connects Microsoft Azure healthcare customers to its national clinical data network

Kno2, a federally designated Qualified Health Information Network, has announced a collaboration with Microsoft that links healthcare organisations using Azure Health Data Services, Microsoft Fabric and OneLake to its network, according to a press release.

Through Kno2, those organisations can exchange clinical records with hospitals, physician practices, post-acute and behavioral health providers which reduces the need for separate point-to-point connections. The outside records can then feed AI agents built with Microsoft Foundry and Copilot Studio, giving models a fuller view of a patient's history. Kno2 lists referral and intake automation among the uses.

"The next opportunity is connecting that intelligence to the rest of healthcare," said Therasa Bell, Kno2's president and co-founder. The release does not name health systems using the connection or give pricing.
