3. Project Definition

3.a. Project Scope













The project team plans to work with existing FHIR artifacts where possible. If changes are necessary, the project team will work with the responsible Work Group to review and implement (via tracker items or new PSS)any necessary enhancements to base FHIR resources, extensions, and/or profiles.


3.b. Project Need


Providers need to have access to executable payer requirements to ensure that documentation supports the medical necessity and appropriateness of a covered service, gather information for authorizations, perfect orders and referrals for patient treatment. The need is for standard representation of payer requirements that can be executed by payer CDS or by rules that can be executed in the context of a SMART of FHIR application. The solution must support the ability to evaluate the current patient information, request missing information, suggest addition evaluations that need to be performed/documented, and incorporate the answers in the clinical record.


3.c. Security Risks


Will this project produce executable(s), for example, schemas, transforms, style sheets, executable program, etc.  If so the project must review and document security risks. Refer to the Cookbook for Security Considerations for additional guidance, including sample spreadsheets that may be used to conduct the security risk assessment.
