Upcoming Da Vinci Community Roundtable on February 25 at 4:00 pm ET
As the federal government signals stronger enforcement and clearer expectations for healthcare pricing transparency, the ability for patients to make informed decisions has become a cornerstone of modern care efforts. The HL7® Da Vinci Project Community Roundtable, taking place on February 25, 2026, from 4 – 5:30 p.m. ET, will bring together the pioneers who are turning these regulatory expectations into reality.
The January roundtable set the stage for 2026 by focusing on overall use case progress and adoption readiness. This February session, “Navigating Patient Cost Transparency Using HL7 FHIR: Insights from Industry Leaders,” zooms in on Patient Cost Transparency (PCT), moving from the "why" of transparency to the "how" of implementation. Attendees will hear directly from early adopters about how they are navigating the complexities of Good Faith Estimates (GFE) and building the infrastructure for a more patient-centric ecosystem.
The upcoming 90-minute session will focus on:
-
The Evolving Transparency Landscape: An overview of how recent federal actions and the No Surprises Act are driving an industry effort to increase transparency and empower patients.
- Standardizing Good Faith Estimates: Insights into the HL7 FHIR-based approach to PCT and how it automates the exchange of cost data between providers and payers.
- Real-World Pilot Progress: First-hand accounts from Aetna/CVS Health and Kyruus Health on how they are leveraging FHIR along with their existing infrastructure and previous work to streamline implementation of PCT, as well as lessons learned.
- The Role of Innovative Apps: How standardized data enables accurate, real-time access to medical costs via consumer-facing applications prior to the delivery of care.
- Collaboration Strategies: What organizations should keep in mind when working in an ecosystem-based solution, where it’s not just one group involved but a whole mix of partners that need to collaborate for success.
