October Da Vinci Community Roundtable on October 22 from  4:00 – 5:30 p.m. ET

As healthcare organizations continue to operationalize CMS-0057 requirements, understanding how to align technology, workflows, and policy is more critical than ever. The HL7® Da Vinci Project Community Roundtable, taking place on October 22, 2025, from 4:00 – 5:30 p.m. ET, will bring together industry leaders to share practical, actionable insights on how Da Vinci Implementation Guides (IGs) are transforming interoperability and reducing administrative burden across the healthcare ecosystem.

This month’s session, “Actionable Insights on Improving Burden Reduction, Payer Data Exchange, and Patient Cost Transparency,” will highlight the real-world value of HL7 FHIR®-based standards in improving efficiency, streamlining workflows, and driving measurable progress in value-based care.

What You'll Learn

The last HL7 Da Vinci Community Roundtable explored how regulatory, technical, and business drivers are shaping the future of prior authorization reform, with a focus on implementation strategies and interoperability alignment. That session underscored a key message: collaboration across payers, providers, and vendors is essential for scaling FHIR adoption.

The upcoming October Roundtable builds on that foundation connecting the dots between Burden Reduction, Payer Data Exchange (PDex), and Patient Cost Transparency (PCT) by highlighting Da Vinci’s pilots to show how these efforts can deliver tangible impact. First-hand accounts from Providence and Multicare as well as an update on recent testing work will be featured.    

The upcoming 90-minute session will focus on:

  • How the Da Vinci Implementation Guides referenced in CMS-0057 are being put into practice to streamline data exchange and reduce administrative load
  • Updates on the Patient Cost Transparency (PCT) Implementation Guide, including:
    • The recent vote to publish the guide
    • Successful testing outcomes from implementers
    • Developments in the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) listed on the Unified Agenda
  • Foundational Work and Piloting, including:
    • How the Da Vinci Trebuchet piloting program brings providers, payers, vendors and networks together to enhance healthcare data exchanges and maximize efficiencies using Da Vinci implementation guides and HL7 FHIR APIs
    • An update on the current burden reduction pilots
    • The new formation of a payer-to-payer pilot with multiple intermediaries to show how networked connectivity can be achieved
  • Scalability through Networked Health Data Exchange, notably how Trebuchet demonstrates the potential for scalable solutions in health data exchange, enabling better support for patient care.
  • Ongoing Pilots and Participant Experiences, featuring:
    • Firsthand accounts of how they secured executive support
    • How participants selected their use cases
    • Discussion of how participants chose partners to collaborate with, as well as the critical role of vendors in this process
  • Resources for Support designed to assist participants on their journey towards improved data exchange and compliance

Featured speakers include:

  • Karen Ashton, Director, Population Health Digital Solutions, MultiCare Connected Care
  • Michael Gould, Associate Vice President, Interoperability Strategy, ZeOmega
  • Scott Rossignol, Solution Architect, eHealthExchange
  • Michael Westover, Vice President, Population Health, Providence
  • Moderator: Denise St. Clair, HL7 Da Vinci Project PMO; Vice President, Health Policy & Interoperability, Global Alliant, Inc

Whether you are a payer, provider, or technology organization, this session will help you understand how these standards-based tools can advance compliance, interoperability, and operational performance.
