Unlocking the Power of PDex: How Payers Are Driving Transparency, Value-Based Care, and Data Exchange

Community Roundtable Featuring Payer Data Exchange Implementation Guide on May 28 at 4 pm

If you're looking for a real-world take on how the healthcare industry is putting the HL7 Da Vinci Project’s Payer Data Exchange (PDex) Implementation Guide into action, you won’t want to miss this event! The 90-minute virtual community roundtable will feature how organizations are using FHIR-based APIs to improve transparency and value-based care.

How Organizations Are Using PDex in Production Today

After a brief update on the PDex Implementation Guide from Da Vinci’s technical director, attendees will hear about implementation considerations and first-hand implementer accounts from those actively applying PDex to solve real-world data exchange challenges:

• Blue Cross Blue Shield Association + InterSystems will discuss the immense potential of payer-to-payer APIs to increase patient transparency and improve value-based care in light of the high levels of churn of the impacted population, resulting in care gaps and a need to provide patients with longitudinal records of care. Presenters will highlight the relevant Implementation Guides and the workflow issues inherent in the process that are being worked on. 
  
  
• Availity, Healow Insights, and Humana will explore their experience with payer-to-payer data sharing using PDex—including workflow impacts, scaling considerations, and member-centered outcomes. Availity and Humana will share its observations and lessons learned along their payer-to-payer implementation journey through internal development, coordinating with their cohort of payers, and participating in Connectathons. Then Healow will highlight its experiences from two years in PDex production. 

This roundtable will help you understand how organizations are using PDex in live environments—and what they’ve learned along the way.

Hear directly from experts on the front lines of interoperability—leaders from payers and health tech who are translating strategy into action with PDex. Speakers include:

• Viet Nguyen, MD – Technical Director, HL7 Da Vinci Project
• Steven Berkow – Senior Advisor, Value-Based Care, InterSystems
• Jessica Jowdy – Manager, Healthcare Sales Engineering, InterSystems
• Karuna Relwani – Business Interoperability Lead, BCBSA
• Michael Taylor – Product Owner, Availity
• Ranjan Saxena – Principal Solutions Architect, Humana
• Seth Paradis – Sales & Business Development Manager, Payer Engagement Division, Healow Insights

About the Community Roundtable

The goal of the Da Vinci Project’s community roundtables is to increase public awareness among payers, providers and vendors of the resources and progress coming out of Da Vinci’s efforts. These 90-minute virtual sessions are open to Da Vinci members as well as the public and highlight how members leverage the Da Vinci use cases and implementation guides in action in workflow.

Typically, two or three organizations showcase their work and answer audience questions, allowing for a vibrant discussion and fostering industry understanding of the Da Vinci work products and resulting market solutions. Sessions are recorded and available online after the event.
