Project Scope Statement 

FHIR IG Proposal

  • This implementation guide is intended to define exchange methods that support communication of risk based coding gaps among different stakeholders such as payers, providers, and government managed care programs. The focus of this IG is to drive accurate and complete documentation of health conditions for members/patients that would lead to improved quality of care, follow up and outcomes, in addition to more accurate risk-adjusted payment calculations and reduced administrative burdens. 
  • STU1 focused on exchanging risk adjustment coding gap reports from payers to providers.
  • STU2 focuses on exchanging risk adjustment coding gap reports from providers back to certified coders and to payers.
