Upcoming Da Vinci Community Roundtable on April 29 at 4:00 pm ET

The momentum for healthcare interoperability continues to accelerate. Following the CMS-0057-F final rule, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) have introduced its next major regulatory step: the 2026 Interoperability Standards and Prior Authorization for Drugs Proposed Rule (CMS-0062-P).

Join the HL7 Da Vinci Project for the April Community Roundtable happening on Wednesday, April 29, 2026 at 4 p.m. ET as we break down this new proposal and discuss its implications for HL7 Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources® (FHIR®) implementation and the industry at large. The new proposed rule relies heavily on the work of the HL7 Da Vinci Project community and could bring significant changes for industry, including adding Da Vinci implementation guides to Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) requirements.

Are you a member of a technical team that’s beginning its journey toward implementing HL7's Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR®) application program interfaces (APIs)? Then don’t miss an upcoming three-day online educational event offering two technical tracks tailored to your needs. 

 

Two days of interactive content delivery and demonstrations will be followed by a Connectathon that will provide implementers and developers with the opportunity to test FHIR-based solutions and exchange data with other FHIR interfaces.  

 

Organizations that want to fast-track implementing HL7 FHIR APIs to automate workflow, maximize efficiency and meet federal requirements of the CMS Interoperability and Prior Authorization Final Rule (CMS-0057-F) should encourage their technical teams attend this online event. 

 

“We designed two tracks for technical team members at provider and payer organizations, as well as technology vendors, who are looking for a crash course on making the most of FHIR,” says Viet Nguyen, M.D., Technical Director of the HL7 Da Vinci Project. (Da Vinci has developed implementation guides for putting FHIR to use in supporting value-based medicine.)
