FEATURED SESSIONS / interopNOW! pavilion
Application Registration using HL7® FHIR® | The CARIN Alliance Application Registration Guide
Monday, March 27 — 11:20 AM - 11:50 AM
InteropNOW! Pavilion, Theater A, Show Floor
Ryan Howells, Principal, Leavitt Partners and Program Manager @ CARIN Alliance
Jennifer Blumenthal, CEO @ OneRecord
As a result of the ONC and CMS Interoperability rules, organizations will be connecting to HL7® FHIR®using applications over the next few years. The CARIN Alliance consumer-facing applications have been connecting to HL7® FHIR® API endpoints for more than 5 years. We will be discussing best practices based on the CARIN Alliance Application Registration guide. These lessons learned are critical to any payer, provider, or application who will be connecting to an HL7® FHIR® API endpoint in production over the next few years.
Digital Identity Federation in Health Care | The CARIN Alliance and Department of HHS Digital Identity Proof of Concept
Monday, March 27 — 3:20 PM - 3:50 PM
InteropNOW! Pavilion, Theater A, Show Floor
Ryan Howells, Principal, Leavitt Partners and Program Manager @ CARIN Alliance
Scott Stuewe, President and CEO @ DirectTrust
Our challenges with patient matching are directly related to individuals not having a portable, digital identity credential they can use across multiple different data holders. Over the last year, the CARIN Alliance has worked with HHS, CMS, ONC, and more than 25 private sector partners including health systems, payers, third-party applications, and trust framework organizations to test the largest and most comprehensive digital identity ecosystem open framework. We will be sharing a report that describes our lessons learned, best practices, and next steps for how we can have a fully interoperable, voluntary, federated digital identity ecosystem in health care as we move to a modern identity and access management ecosystem that supports OpenID Connect.
