a Payer-to-Payer API to facilitate
data exchange between payers.
This API must be implemented by
January 1, 2027.
Impacted payers must implement and
maintain a Provider Access API to share
patient data with in-network providers
with whom the patient has a treatment
relationship. This API must be
implemented by January 1, 2027.

CMS Interoperability and Prior Authorization Final Rule: Transforming Healthcare Data Exchange
Patient Identity
This includes managing patient
demographics, medical records,
and prior authorization information.
Provider Identity
Accurate identification of
healthcare providers is essential for
coordination of care. This includes
managing provider credentials,
affiliations, and roles within
healthcare organizations.
Payer Identity
Managing the identities of payers, such
as insurance companies and government
programs, is necessary for efficient data
exchange and prior authorization
processes. This includes managing payer-
specific information and ensuring secure
access to patient data.
CMS requirements will necessitate MDM solutions that allow for custom models, multiple domains, and high volume record counts

As WEDI stated, "lean into what you know and partner for support on what you don’t”
o Complex and Inconsistent: FHIR IGs can vary widely, making it challenging to
achieve seamless system integration.
o Slow and Uneven Adoption: Healthcare organizations adopt FHIR IGs at
different rates, which can create gaps in interoperability.
o Customization Challenges: Many organizations tailor IGs to their needs, but
these customizations can sometimes lead to compatibility issues.
o Resource Considerations: Implementing FHIR IGs requires time, expertise, and
financial investment, which can be more challenging for organizations with
limited resources.

• Master Data is used to provide a single point of reference for critical data
utilized across the enterprise.
• The key objective is to provide the organization an authoritative Source-of-
Truth for a given information area (e.g. patient, provider, member, location,
reference)
• The basic process consists of ingesting data from multiple sources into an
MDM engine which then matches and/or merges records and applies logic
to provide consumers with data that is standardized into a single “master” or
“golden” record that has the agreed upon best (highest trusted source
information) and finally, providing it to consumers in the manner they prefer.

  • #16 All organizations have multiple data sources, and the larger the organization the greater the number of data sources. Typically, there will be ERPs, CRMs, Legacy applications, regional versions of each of these, external data feeds and so on Inevitably, data that was created in different ‘silos’ with different governance standards to meet the needs of different applications will always have issues. When you look at the data drawn form each of these applications you will see that it is inconsistent in terms of both the standardization of data values and often in terms of the values themselves, and most often individual records are incomplete. And it should be pointed out that this is normal and 100% to be expected. In fact, it would be surprising if this were not the case – but it does give us a problem, as what we really need is data that is complete, and consistent, and accurate. The ability to consolidate data from multiple disparate systems is key if we want to use the data to drive business insights and operational efficiencies – or any form of ‘digital transformation’. What we need in that case is high quality, trusted data that is ready to use, whether it is being consumed in basic enterprise metrics or advanced AI algorithms. So we have a gap between the data as we have it and how we need it. Filling that gap is the job of Data Governance, such as Microsoft Purview, and Master Data Management, such as Profisee MDM! While governance systems can *define* data standards, MDM is where they are *enforced*. Data from different systems can be matched and merged, validated against data quality and governance standards, and remediated where required. Then the new corrected and validated ‘master’ data can be shared to downstream analytics and well and back to source systems to drive operational improvements. By properly creating and maintaining enterprise master data, we transform data into an asset of the business. Now, lets look at how this all fits into an enterprise computing platform such as Azure.

  • #31 Evolve commentary started on prior slide to pivot to Da Vinci simply is an group of industry payers, providers and HIT partners that understand how critical it is to develop common, ideally eventual standard ways for providers and payers to exchange the critical data required for value base case to work. Scalability at national level. Critical to define standards based solutions that have input, credibility and usability and will be picked up and used by many without SPECIAL EFFORT. Briefly touch upon the HL7 interplay and Da Vinci project with emphasizing membership is about garnering value from investment of dollars and resources to produce and implement standard approaches to solve business pain points. Value will be seen in the improvements achieved through implementation of a use case. In other words, deploying solutions to real world problems and avoiding rework to solutions to achieve interoperability & integration with trading partners. A goal of Da Vinci is to develop repeatable production focused projects that lead to implementations because the use cases represent real world pain points and the solutions are standards based. Additional content if warranted Interplay with HL7 processes: When a Da Vinci project plans to produce an artifact, such as an Implementation Guide, that shall be balloted by HL7, an HL7 Project Scope Statement (PSS) will be created and taken to the appropriate HL7 Work Group(s) for discussion, ownership to manage the PSS, and submission to HL7’s approval process Da Vinci participants will work with the appropriate HL7 Work Group(s) to prepare materials necessary to take the artifact to Notice for Intent to Ballot (NIB), balloting, resolution of ballot comments, and submission for publication A Da Vinci artifact will be subject to all relevant HL7 policies and procedure when submitted using a PSS and in the subsequent standards effort related to the specific artifacts defined in the PSS Artifacts submitted for HL7 balloting (via the PSS process) will become intellectual property owned and distributed under HL7 published guidelines Project Deliverables Define requirements (technical, business, communications, integration) Create Implementation Guide (technical implementation requirements) Create and test Reference Implementation (prove the guide works) Initial Implementation (pilot) Deploy the solution (go-live) Implementation Guide (IG) - A specification that defines how the capabilities defined by the FHIR specification are used in particular data exchanges, or to solve particular problems (adapted from the HL7 FHIR Foundation Implementation Guide Registry (http://www.fhir.org/guides/registry). Reference Implementation (RI) - A reference implementation is, in general, an implementation of a specification to be used as a definitive interpretation for that specification. During the development of the ... conformance test suite, at least one relatively trusted implementation of each interface is necessary to (1) discover errors or ambiguities in the specification, and (2) validate the correct functioning of the test suite.
