Presentation Title
Networked FHIR Exchange: Maximizing the Value of Standardized Data Exchange
Description
FHIR data exchange has traditionally been point-to-point exchanges between clients and servers with APIs, presenting individual implementation needs between partners. Networked FHIR exchanges introduce relationships in which single parties interact with multiple other parties, truly testing the value of standardization and trust frameworks in streamlining the implementation of data exchange capabilities across the industry to ultimately improve care and ensure health equity. This session will explore the existing pain points of scaling FHIR exchange between payers and providers, the advantages of leveraging FHIR exchange networks, and the challenges that come with it to ensure the security and privacy of health data. The panelists will focus on specific use cases and stakeholders to compare different approaches.
Session Objectives
1. Explain the benefits of a standards-based approach to interoperability and how multi-stakeholder initiatives of payers, providers, and vendors work together to help the industry solve health care interoperability problems, reduce burden, enhance the patient experience, and meet federal requirements
2. Describe payers’ and providers’ considerations, challenges, and benefits of implementing FHIR APIs and HL7 Da Vinci Project Implementation Guides and how their interactions evolve as they collaborate during implementation.
3. Identify the benefits and progress of shifting from traditional file formats to real-time FHIR-based data exchange between providers and payers to unleash the data required for value-based care contracts to be successful.
4. Describe the real-world success stories in reducing the burden and improving efficiencies from the HL7 Da Vinci Project, including the first-in-the-nation implementation of FHIR-driven pre-authorization
5. Identify how to get involved, join the growing collaborative community, and directly access all of the free and open resources of the HL7 Da Vinci Project to solve your interoperability challenges
