Edifecs, Inc., a global health information technology solutions company, together with GuideWell Mutual Holding Corporation (GuideWell), the parent to a family of forward-thinking companies focused on transforming health care, are participating in the new monthly virtual HL7® Da Vinci Project Community Roundtable on April 22 called, “Fulfilling Interoperability Final Rules: GuideWell and Edifecs Present Payer Coverage Decision Exchange & Alerts.” The discussion will emphasize how exchanging interoperable data supports the best and most effective delivery of care to patients.
To kick off the session, Deputy Chief Health Informatics Officer at Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, Alexandra Mugge, will provide a high-level overview of the final rule update on interoperability and patient access.
As a founding member of the Da Vinci Project, Edifecs has partnered with Premier member, GuideWell, to aggressively promote the work of the Da Vinci Project, and in particular, bring the initiative’s common vision to life by investing in the development of technical capabilities that support real world patient care use cases and leverage HL7 FHIR® (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources)- based models for patient information sharing.
Presenting with them will be healow Insights and Mettle Solutions to highlight the baseline interoperability that Da Vinci offers across all healthcare stakeholders.
Registration is open here: Fulfilling Interoperability Final Rules: GuideWell and Edifecs Present Payer Coverage Decision Exchange & Alerts.
WHAT:
This virtual roundtable will feature Edifecs and GuideWell’s partnership in implementing the use of FHIR- based models for patient information sharing across GuideWell’s network of health insurance providers.
