Short Description | Review and test aspects of the ONC FAST National Directory effort & Da Vinci Payer Data Exchange Plan-Net |
Long Description | Review of the existing implementation guides that are part of input into the FAST Directory solution. The existing implementation guides include the National Directory Exchange IG, the Endpoint Query IG and the Attestation and Validation IG. The FAST solution document outlines the direction that will be taken in creating the three new IGs that are part of the National Directory work effort at HL7. The goal of the project is to create FHIR based standards for: 1) The exchange of validated healthcare directory information in a federated access environment based on the Validated Healthcare Directory standard localized for the US Realm using work completed for the PDex Plan Net FHIR IG (includes 11-14 in drawing below), 2) Query for FHIR endpoints from any federated directory instance (includes 15-16 in the drawing below), and 3) Submitting attested information to the validated directory and verifying the information against primary sources (includes 1-10 in drawing below). This project is needed to provide standards for the population, validation, exchange and query of a federated access national healthcare directory. It will:
Project Page: https://confluence.hl7.org/display/PA/National+Healthcare+Directory Plan Net enables patients/consumers to see which providers and pharmacies are in-network for a given organization insurance plan. These implementation guides are recommended by CMS as one way to comply with the Patient Access API rule. This track will continue the work of previous connectathon tracks and focus on testing: Plan-Net IG:

Testing Scenario: | Role 1 Name: Federated Directory Actor Role 2 Name: Application Query Actor Scenarios Query the Federated Directory for a specific endpoint based on the name or ID of a payer organization
Action: Authenticate to Federated Directory Endpoint Success Criteria: ability to access a Federated Directory API
Action: RESTful GET of endpoint information for a specific Payer organization Success Criteria: ability to return endpoint information for a specific payer organization
Action: RESTful GET of streaming NDJSON file Success Criteria: ability to return bulk data stream for a specific resource Stretch Goal: ability to query NDJSON bulk data from IPFS or BitTorrent TestScript(s):
