The Standard

The Da Vinci Project’s June Community Roundtable to be held June 28 from 4:00 – 5:30 pm ET

Representatives from athenahealth and Optum discuss the HL7 Da Vinci Project’s newest use case during the June Community Roundtable, scheduled on Wednesday, June 28, from 4 – 5:30 p.m. ET.

In addition to learning the latest project updates, attendees will learn how the Da Vinci Risk Adjustment Implementation Guide (IG) supports exchange of risk adjustment gap reports at the point of care. Attendees will discover how standard protocols, which are payer agnostic, enable communication of chronic conditions and simplified workflows. Presenters will also illustrate how providers gain the ability to share real-time feedback and clinical evidence to address gaps. An overview of the IG and a question-and-answer period will conclude the webinar.

 Presenters for this session, “Risk Adjustment Reporting at the Point-of-Care​,” include:

• Josh Lamb, Integration Architect, Optum
• Linda Michaelsen, Director, Healthcare Interoperability Standards, Optum
• Nidhi Pengoria, Senior Product Manager, athenahealth

Alix Goss, HL7 Da Vinci Project PMO, and Senior Consultant, Point-of-Care Partners, serves as the session moderator.

Da Vinci Project's Monthly Meeting to Describe Progress on Price Cost Transparency and Risk Adjustment Initiatives on Wednesday Event, 9/22 at 4:00 pm ET

Important updates on two implementation guide initiatives and a demo of how standards could support prior authorization burden reduction are on the agenda for the next Community Roundtable of the Da Vinci Project.

The roundtable will begin with an update from the project management office of the Da Vinci Project, which will feature updates on the status of the Price Cost Transparency and Risk Adjustment Implementation Guides (IGs). These efforts to use HL7® Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resource (FHIR®) are more complex than previous initiatives. Both efforts anticipate challenges that the industry will face to make healthcare costs more transparent and to accurately reflect patients’ comprehensive conditions and risks related to reimbursement for coverage.

After the update, the prior authorization demonstration will show how FHIR IGs can be used to reduce administrative challenge of anticipating prior authorization documentation requirements, a nagging concern within the industry.
