The Intersection of Federal Regulation and The HL7 Da Vinci Project
With the issuance of the new federal prior authorization and attachments rule proposals last month, the innovative interoperability work advanced by the HL7 Da Vinci Project is once again being recognized as a path forward for game-changing industry transformation that will reduce burden, increase automation and improve care. Join us for Da Vinci’s January Community Roundtable and hear an overview and frequently asked questions about the rules and their accompanying RFIs first-hand from CMS officials. Then Da Vinci leaders will share an overview of the Implementation Guides that are suggested in the proposed rules and how they meet the rules’ objectives. You will learn how to access the resources, participate in community feedback and start getting involved.

Advancing Interoperability via FHIR APIs: An Industry Discussion on Progress, Proposed Rules and the Value of Automation
The adoption of HL7 FHIR over the past 11 years has paved the way for healthcare transformation using open APIs, the same kind of evolution experienced over the years in travel, commerce and finance. As a key to meeting the new federal rules, the HL7 Da Vinci Project’s Implementation Guides are paving the way for industry to move and achieve true automation that will ultimately reduce administrative burden through streamlined workflows that provide data to users when they need it in the format they desire. This month, hear about the latest thinking regarding the proposed rules, discover the resources available from the HL7 Da Vinci Project that will help you automate your processes, and learn how provider and payer innovators who have not waited for regulation are already reaping the benefits of FHIR APIs in their real-world business transformations.

Interoperability, SDoH, Opportunities for Program Improvement
Several states are leading the way in implementing person-centered care models and piloting interventions for Medicaid enrollees using SDoH data, and coordinating services through their MCO (Managed Care Organization) partners and CBOs (Community Based Organizations). At the same time, states are implementing the information-blocking rule and payer-to-payer data exchange models in order to be compliant with CMS rule-making. The convergence of these efforts, and the maturation of services being provided through HIEs, which are emerging as critical public health utility partners, promise to provide a trusted HHS data exchange framework that will not only improve the coordination of beneficiary services but address the needs of communities, as a long term strategic imperative.
Join our panel of Federal, State, and HIE partners to discuss interoperability, data exchange models and opportunities for program improvement.

Use Case Progress and Patient Matching Success: How to Improve Interoperability and Patient Safety
Join us for the March Community Roundtable to hear the latest news and learn about the progress towards use case milestones, specifically highlighting Clinical Data Exchange (CDex), Price Cost Transparency (PCT) and Member Attribution (ATR). You will then hear the real-world story of Opala and MultiCare Connected Care, implementers of Da Vinci’s member attribution use case, which resulted in a 10% improvement in patient matching. This benefit helped MultiCare further improve patient safety by ensuring clinicians have the full picture about their patients in real time.

4th Wednesday of each month 4:00-5:30 PM (eastern) | Da Vinci Community Roundtable The goal of the new Community Roundtable is to increase public awareness among payers, providers and vendors of the resources and progress coming out of Da Vinci’s efforts. The 90-minute virtual sessions, which will be open to members and the public, will highlight how members leverage the Da Vinci use cases and IGs in action in workflow. Typically, two or three organizations will showcase their work and answer audience questions, allowing for a vibrant discussion and fostering industry understanding of the Da Vinci work products and resulting market solutions. Sessions are anticipated to be recorded and available online for viewing after the event. |
Improving Patient Outcomes Using FHIR: How providers are exchanging clinical data with payers to deliver better quality of care
May’s Community Roundtable focuses on bidirectional clinical data exchange between payers and providers using Da Vinci’s PDex and CDex implementation guides. This month’s implementation story from FloridaBlue, healow insights and Humana discusses how standardized information sharing improves patient care. The session includes a demonstration of clinical data exchange capabilities, such as point of care alerts and up-to-date patient histories, underscoring the value of using FHIR standards to optimize electronic medical record integration to assist in achieving value-based care outcomes. Rounding out this month’s webinar will be Da Vinci program updates and use case milestone progress including highlights from HL7 Connectathon and WGM+.

How Provider-Payer Collaboration Maximizes Value Based Performance Reporting (ID #810)
The HL7® Da Vinci Project is a multi-stakeholder collaborative effort engaging providers, payers and partners with the goal of accelerating the adoption of HL7 FHIR® (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) as the standard to support and integrate value-based care (VBC) data exchange in real time. As fee for service shifts to value-based care, value-based contracts have emerged as a mechanism that providers and
payers may use to better align their contracting structures with broader changes in the healthcare system.
This session provides you with front-row access to HL7 Da Vinci Project’s newest use case that aims to develop an HL7 FHIR Implementation Guide to support value-based performance reporting for quality and risk contracts. Proposed by a provider, this use case seeks to solve challenges around the lack of reporting format standardizations, the resource-intensive process, lack of scalability and the complexities of data
reconciliation.
After a brief high-level perspective regarding the value-based performance reporting component, presenters will highlight the genesis, development, project scope and progress of the use case. The opportunities to tackle the challenges of gathering performance data will be a focus as well as how you can leverage the HL7 Da Vinci project Implementation Guides to improve your reporting.
Risk Adjustment Reporting at the Point of Care Learn how the Da Vinci Risk Adjustment Implementation Guide supports exchange of risk adjustment gap reports at the point of care and how standard protocols which are payer agnostic enable communication of chronic conditions and simplified workflows. Providers gain ability to share real-time feedback and clinical evidence to address gaps. | Josh Lamb (Optum) Linda Michaelsen (Optum) Michael Palantoni (Athena Healthcare) | Chicago, IL: https://www.himss.org/global-conference Interoperability Showcase Theater, North Building | Hall B | Booth 7946 | ||

The rising availability of data via APIs, payment transformation to Value Based Care, and increasingly larger populations covered by government programs will fundamentally change how providers and payers engage with patients.
