Payer-to-Payer Data Exchange: Rising to the Opportunities and the Challenges With an implementation deadline of January 1, 2022, the Interoperability and Patient Access final rule (CMS-9115-F) requires most CMS-regulated payers to exchange certain patient clinical data at the patient’s request, allowing the patient to direct the transfer of their information as they move from payer to payer to help create a cumulative health record with their current payer. CMS guidance and FAQs strongly encourage the use of the HL7 FHIR PDex Implementation Guide. Having a patient’s health information in one place facilitates informed decision-making, enables efficient care, reduces burden on providers and patients during transitions of coverage, and ultimately can lead to better health outcomes. July's Community Roundtable provides a current snapshot of Da Vinci’s effort to create a nationwide interoperable approach among payers using PDex-based data exchange. This session provides an opportunity to better understand dynamics you’ll encounter in achieving payer-to-payer exchange compliance such as consent and endpoint discovery.

Da Vinci's Quarterly Update and Implementation Lessons from Cedars-Sinai, Anthem and CareEvolution Da Vinci’s Jocelyn Keegan, program manager, and Dr. Viet Nguyen, technical director, will deliver a quarterly update highlighting the progress and real-world use cases of Da Vinci Project efforts. They will also review how the project’s work and available resources, including implementation guides, will help organizations meet the goals of the Patient Access API rules by the Jan. 1, 2021 federal deadline. Anthem, Cedars-Sinai, and CareEvolution discuss implementing the Data Exchange for Quality Measures and Event Notification implementation guides. Lessons include how they formed their project, implemented the technical requirements, and identified valuable “lessons learned” for future efforts to reduce the burden and increase the scale of data exchange for value-based care. | Anthem, Cedars-Sinai and CareEvolution slides: Anthem_Cedars_CE_DaVinciPresentation.FINAL.pdf | HL7 Da Vinci Quarterly Program Update:

Interoperability Breakthroughs to Advance Value-Based Care and Improve Clinical and Financial Outcomes Interoperability in healthcare is at an inflection point. Great progress has been made, but many challenges remain that limit stakeholders’ ability to fully optimize the delivery of quality, value-based care while also reducing costs. Major FHIR®-centric initiatives have emerged to address these barriers and allow healthcare to embrace interoperability that has fueled innovation and disruption in other industries. Join the HIMSS Interoperability & HIE Community for a virtual discussion about how interoperability is fueling innovation and disruption in healthcare and beyond. | Patrick Murta, Chief Interoperability Architect & Fellow, Humana; Co-Chief Architect, FAST, Da Vinci Coordinating Committee Member Adam Bazer, Senior Manager, Informatics, HIMSS Amit Trivedi, Director, HIT Standards and Informatics, HIMSS | HIMSS Interoperability & HIE Community | 10/21/20 | |
Provider Leadership and Partnerships: The Key to Interoperability and Scalability of Value-Based Care Clinicians and their teams are helping to lead the way with HL7® Da Vinci Project production implementations to enable interoperability and advance value-based care. Learn how provider organizations are forging the building blocks that leads towards automation. These reusable building blocks underscore technical and business solutions critical to addressing current pain points with the health care system and creating win-wins for patients, clinicians, administrators, payers and technologists. | Da Vinci slides: Da Vinci Community Roundtable 2020 Sept 23 (final).pdf Providence slides: Scalability of VBC Through Interoperability PSJH 2020.pdf MultiCare and Cambia slides: CommunityForum_200923_MCCJourneytoInteroperability_V1.pdf | Tammy Banks, Providence St. Joseph, Vice President Medicare Strategy, Value Based Care Semira Singh, Providence St. Joseph, Product Manager Population Health, Value Based Care Dave DeGandi, Senior Interoperability Strategist, DTS CTO Organization, Cambia Health Solutions Anna Taylor, MS CIPCT, Director of Operations, Population Health for MultiCare Connected Care | Community Roundtable | 9/23/20 |
How CMS, ONC and Industry are Tackling Provider Burden and Enabling Rapid Adoption of FHIR The latest updates on two initiatives that leverage healthcare industry collaborative efforts to advance information exchange using HL7® Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR®), maximize efficiency at scale and overcome barriers and physician burden in the healthcare system. The CMS Center for Program Integrity began the Documentation Requirement Lookup Service (DRLS) initiative aims to streamline clinician workflow access to coverage requirements through the development of the DRLS prototype for the Medicare Fee for Service program. The FHIR at Scale Taskforce (FAST), convened by the Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT (ONC) seeks to identify FHIR scalability challenges and potential solutions, analysis that will address current barriers and will enable rapid industry adoption of FHIR-based solutions at scale. | FAST Slides: FAST_DV Roundtable_8.26.pdf CMS Slides: CPI DRLS Support_HL7 Da Vinci Community Round Table_FINAL_08-26-2020_508compliant.pdf | ONC FAST: Ecosystem Infrastructure for Scalable FHIR Solutions Through Collaboration & Industry Engagement • Stephen Konya, HHS/ONC CMS Medicare Fee for Service Documentation Requirement Lookup Service (DRLS) Overview and Status | Community Roundtable | 8/26/20 |
