MARCH 3-6, 2025

For goal-directed care to move forward into the digital world, there needs to be a clear pathway to identify, report, and measure the necessary data to conduct this type of care. NCQA has developed person-centered outcome measures to track these structured goal conversations over time for payment and quality measurement purposes, which is one piece of the puzzle. These measures focus on identifying a goal, documenting it using either PROMs or goal attainment scaling, and tracking goal progress over time. Over the past year, NCQA has been working with the HL7 community to align with existing FHIR standards as well as identify gaps in these resources. NCQA will share how they are working to promote goal-directed care via FHIR resources and align the quality measures to support this care paradigm.

During this session, attendees will learn:

• What changes need to be made to existing FHIR resources and standards to ensure goal-directed care can be implemented
• How quality measures can support these changes and the widespread use of these resources.
• About new work that NCQA is co-leading with others around a Person-Centered Outcome FHIR IG

Presenters:

• Daniela Lawton - Member, Patient Care Work Group @ HL7 International; Director, Chronic Conditions @National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA)
• Anne Smith - Co-Chair, Clinical Quality Information Work Group @ HL7 International; Assistant Vice President in Measure Architecture @National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA)

Just as we invested a few decades developing interoperability standards for Electronic Healthcare Records systems, we begin a new long-term effort to define interoperability standards for Electronic Socialcare Records systems. Our work to date on efforts such as The Gravity Project addresses only the intersection between healthcare and socialcare systems. Health and social services are interdependent and have some similarities. Still, the social services ecosystem is incredibly diverse, with programs, services, and benefits driven by many different Federal, state, local, and NGO legislation, regulations, and policies. We have no de jure standards for social services IT systems. Developing standards for the socialcare equivalent of EHRs, HIEs, etc., will require an effort at least as broad as has been pursued by HL7 and other standards bodies over the past decades. Yet given the interdependence between healthcare and socialcare, we need to ensure we start that effort on a common foundation between EHRs and Electronic Socialcare Records systems. We propose "Socialcare-on-FHIR" as that foundation, with a complimentary effort of "Socialcare-on-FHIR-over-Direct" to provide a simple "on-ramp" for small low-tech Community Based Organizations.

The CARIN Alliance is an HL7 FHIR Accelerator program that brings implementers together to advance the use of HL7 FHIR standards in health care. The CARIN Alliance Health Plan Workgroup was organized to develop a FHIR-based API that a consumer-facing application could implement. The CARIN for Blue Button Framework was designed to answer the challenge for health plans to ‘meet or exceed’ the CMS Blue Button 2.0 capabilities. The CMS Blue Button® 2.0 project provides over 53 million Medicare fee-for-service beneficiaries access to their electronic claims information. The CARIN Alliance Health Plan Workgroup aims to develop an agreed-upon set of data fields to exchange with consumers and a FHIR-based implementation guide for health plans and consumer-facing applications to implement the API.

The International Patient Summary (IPS) is a standardized clinical data set providing key patient care information. It is designed to support unscheduled, cross-border care scenarios but can also be used for planned care transitions and is being adopted worldwide. In 2024, the HL7 IPS FHIR Implementation Guide was balloted, updating the prior 1.1 publication to a 2.0 version. Several significant changes have been made in the most recent ballot, including the approach to empty sections, new data content and operations to generate IPS documents.  In addition, we’ll review tools that people can use to onboard with the IPS. The IPS has the opportunity to be one of the first widely used FHIR-based clinical documents, and we welcome the audience to learn from one of its primary editors.

In July 2024, the New Brunswick, Canada Department of Health launched the first patient-mediated Patient Summary in North America through its MyHealthNB digital front door. The Patient Summary, built by VeroSource, empowers citizens with secure, shareable digital health data, enabling them to share essential clinical information when traveling across borders, enhancing care during emergencies and transitions in care. This initiative aligns with Canada Health Infoway's pan-Canadian Patient Summary, an adaptation of the International Patient Summary, marking a significant milestone in the province’s healthcare interoperability journey. Ongoing research and evaluation of MyHealthNB and the Patient Summary ensure continuous improvement and capture of the patient voice. This approach positions New Brunswick as a global leader in digital health innovation.

The adoption of HL7 FHIR over the past decade has paved the way for healthcare transformation using open APIs, the same kind of evolution experienced over the years in travel, commerce and finance. As a key to meeting federal rules, the HL7 Da Vinci Project’s Implementation Guides are paving the way for industry to move and achieve true automation that will ultimately reduce administrative burden through streamlined workflows that provide data to users when they need it in the format they desire.

After inquiries and feedback from our membership, Da Vinci requested and received approval in 2021 for an exception to HIPAA requirements for Da Vinci payers and their trading partners when using the FHIR standard for prior authorization, allowing members to test new versions of standards to prove out the ability of the HL7 FHIR® standard for Prior Authorization (PA) to improve efficiency and further achieve administrative simplification as envisioned by the HIPAA regulations. Through the exception testing, Da Vinci demonstrated that the HL7 FHIR-based standards for PA significantly improved the prior authorization process compared to the existing standard. Presenters will share the lessons learned and significant outcomes of the testing, including how using FHIR APIs enabled the organizations to achieve an improvement of 140% or more in the time it took to complete individual point-to-point transactions.

This session introduces a groundbreaking approach to scalable healthcare interoperability and security, centered on the FHIR at Scale Taskforce (FAST) Implementation Guides (IGs) for Security, Identity, and Consent. These IGs establish a unified, standards-based framework that empowers health and human services organizations to enable secure, seamless, patient-centered data exchange.

By integrating these foundational guides, FAST has created a holistic strategy to address critical interoperability challenges while fostering compliance with evolving regulations such as HIPAA, TEFCA, and industry best practices. Attendees will explore the journey of the Security IG—its development, implementation, and evolution as the cornerstone of this framework—and how it interweaves with the Identity and Consent to ensure robust and scalable solutions.

Presenter:

Open, standards-based health and medical device interoperability has been pursued for over 40 years by experts from around the world and from a diverse set of organizations. Though there has been some "success" - especially using HL7 V2 messaging and ISO/IEEE 11073 semantic content - those successes are often incremental and result in limited content exchange and limited usability. Building upon these decades of effort, including the 5-year joint HL7-IHE Gemini Device Interoperability program for D2D plug-and-trust acute care device interoperability, and the almost 10-year Devices on FHIR initiative, HL7 is leveraging its FHIR Accelerator program to create a global implementation community that will advance the realization of this 40-year device interoperability vision of improving the lives of individuals through improved healthcare quality and innovation. This session will explore the rich history of health device informatics standardization, review the current landscape with its opportunities and challenges, and then focus on this new accelerator implementation community being formed and the value for your organization's participation as founding members.

Presenter:

• Todd Cooper - HL7 Devices Evangelist
