ANSI Antitrust Policy ANSI neither develops standards nor conducts certification programs but instead accredits standards developers and certification bodies under programs requiring adherence to principles of openness, voluntariness, due process and non-discrimination. ANSI, therefore, brings significant, procompetitive benefits to the standards and conformity assessment community. ANSI nevertheless recognizes that it must not be a vehicle for individuals or organizations to reach unlawful agreements regarding prices, terms of sale, customers, or markets or engage in other aspects of anti-competitive behavior. ANSI’s policy, therefore, is to take all appropriate measures to comply with U.S. antitrust laws and foreign competition laws and ANSI expects the same from its members and volunteers when acting on behalf of ANSI. Approved by the ANSI Board of Directors May 22, 2014 Note: always clear/include antitrust statement in a public meeting.

Pre-Collaboration / Controlled Chaos: Project Challenge To ensure the success of the industry’s shift to Value Based Care Pre-Collaboration / Controlled Chaos: Develop rapid multi-stakeholder process to identify, exercise and implement initial use cases. 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. Collaboration: Minimize the development and deployment of unique solutions. Promote industry wide standards and adoption. Success Measures: Use of FHIR®, implementation guides and pilot projects.

Empower End Users to Shift to Value As a private industry project under HL7 International, Da Vinci will unleash critical data between payers and providers required for VBC workflows leveraging HL7® FHIR® So this is a journey, not immediate change, increasingly providers and the extended care team must have access while caring for a patient, as triggers or integrated in their workflows. While the shift from Fee for Service to paying based on outcomes is a giant shift in US healthcare, this is not a US centric problem. We believe FHIR is best option at this time to get providers across this chasm. Source: © 2018 Health Catalyst

The vignette describes a clinical encounter for 78-year-old Asian women named Dara that starts with her primary care physician, proceeds to a cardiologist who admits Dara to the hospital for an angiogram and observation where it is determined that her chronic obstructive pulmonary disease has progressed to the point that she needs supplemental oxygen. As Dara returns to her primary care physician, her previous medications are reconciled with those prescribed at discharge, the PCP reports the medication reconciliation, in support of a quality measure the Medicare Advantage program is following for its members. The visual describes the interactions demonstrated at HIMSS Interoperability Showcase, direction of each exchange, the FHIR standards used, the setting where the interaction is occurring and the participants. Each step represents a provider – payer exchange using FHIR IG

Patient Care, Documents on FHIR eHealth Record Exchange: Clinical Data Exchange (CDex) SUMMARY Providers and Payers need to exchange information regarding prior and current healthcare services planned for or received by the patient/member to more effectively manage the patients care. Currently, no FHIR implementation guides exist to standardize the method of exchange (push, pull, triggers, subscription, etc.) and the formal representation (e.g. Documents, Bundles, Profiles and Vocabulary) for the range of exchanges between providers and providers or providers and payers of current and emerging interest to the involved parties. The focus is on the exchange of provider and payer originated information to improve patient care and reduce provider and payer burden. This use case will define combinations of exchange methods (push, pull, subscribe, CDS Hooks, …), specific payloads (Documents, Bundles, and Individual Resources), search criteria, conformance, provenance, and other relevant requirements to support specific exchanges of clinical information between: 1) providers, 2) a provider and a payer, 3) a payer and providers, and/or a provider and any third party involved in value based care (e.g. a quality management organization).

eHealth Record Exchange: Payer Data Exchange (PDex) SUMMARY Providers need access to payer information regarding current and prior healthcare services received by the patient/member to more effectively manage the patients care. It is important to standardize the method of exchange (push, pull, triggers, subscription, etc.) or the formal representation (e.g. Bundles, Profiles and Vocabulary) for specific elements of payer information of interest to providers. The value is to provide a standard for adoption by both payers and providers for the exchange of payer information. Where possible the 'standards' defined by the electronic Health Record exchange (eHRx) Framework Implementation Guide which in turn will utilize prior work from Argonaut, US Core and QI Core effort for FHIR DSTU2, STU3, and R4. The goal is to support the exchange of payer data on specific patients/members for better patient care with providers using technology that support FHIR DSTU2, STU3, and R4 releases of the FHIR standard. Will support the use of other interoperability 'standards' (e.g. CDS Hooks and SMART on FHIR) to effectively exchange payer information regarding the current or previous care, including the provenance of the data, of one or more specific patients/members with a provider responsible for evaluating/specifying/ordering/delivering care for the patient.

Alerts/Notifications: Admit/Discharge Notifications, Clinical and Administrative Events SUMMARY Current Admit and Discharge notifications typically use an HL7 V2 ADT message. While HL7 V2 works well within the confines of a hospital system’s intranet, it is not particularly well suited to cross-enterprise data exchange. FHIR resources can be used to transport patient admission and discharge information as well as information related to other care events to an extended care team. The work effort will include defining the scope and content of the massaging based on input from the various stakeholders.  The goal is to provide a FHIR based standard for the definition and exchange of relevant alerts and notifications Coordination with Argonaut work on the Subscription model (to make it event driven) will provide a basis for the exchange of alerts where care team relationships are defined and subscription to appropriate events is supported. The work effort will include exploring options to “push” the defined alerts / notifications where subscription is not a viable solution Category Level of Effort Effort Low-Medium Complexity Low Time to Ref Imp 2-4 initial scope Source/HL7 WG CDS/OO FHIR Fitness Excellent Standards Dev Scope (including IG) Implementation Challenges Medium

Patient Cost Transparency SUMMARY Payer automated capabilities that provide timely, robust pricing transparency between payers and providers, as well as payers and consumers, is an industry priority Robust payer pricing transparency presented prior to the delivery of services will enable patients with their clinician's guidance to make informed decisions on their course of treatment and the cost to the patient Patients need accurate, timely access to cost of medical care prior to delivery of care in order to become better stewards of their healthcare dollars. Exposing cost of services/devices and calculated Care Plan Pretreatment Estimate within an EMR workflow can lead to clinician/patient care plan decisions with increased patient adherence Providers need accurate, timely access to pricing transparency prior to and immediately after delivery of pharmaceutical/medical care to collect financial responsibility from patients at the practice check out, immediately after providing care to increase patient responsibility collection and reduce collection costs.

Exposing cost of services/devices and calculated Care Plan Pretreatment Estimate within an EMR workflow can lead to clinician/patient care plan decisions with increased patient adherence Providers need accurate, timely access to pricing transparency, on patient out-of-pocket costs, prior to and immediately after delivery of pharmaceutical/medical care to collect financial responsibility from patients at the practice check out, immediately after providing care to increase patient responsibility collection and reduce collection costs. This IG will define a simple exchange for providers to request and receive patient cost information from payer to enable clinician and patient medical device / services / medical care conversation. This project will utilize specific triggers and exchange methods (CDS Hooks, Pull, etc.), use of other interoperability "standards" (e.g. SMART on FHIR, CQL) and specific use of FHIR resources to effectively request cost information from the responsible payer and return it in real-time to the provider so they can use it in treatment planning conversations with their patient at point of service. This project will reference, where possible the "standards" defined by the Health Record exchange (HRex) Library/Framework Implementation Guide which in turn will utilize prior work from Argonaut, US Core and QI Core effort for FHIR DSTU2, STU3, and R4 where appropriate. The following diagram depicts the anticipated scope of the HRex Library/Framework IG.

Payer Coverage Decision Exchange SUMMARY The exchange of specific coverage/treatment decisions from one payer to another payer to allow for continued coverage of specific treatments without needing to repeat the review and authorization process. The decisions may be based on commercial guidelines that can be uniquely referenced or based on specific payer rules (if and when available and defined in a structured, rules-based manner, w/o a proprietary payer's evaluation process). Supports the exchange the supporting documentation used to validate the necessity for coverage of specific treatments This work builds on the Payer Data Exchange – PDex implementation guides to define patient driven/authorized exchange methods to meet the anticipated requirements for coverage portability. .

Gaps in Care or Information SUMMARY To succeed in population health and value-based care, gaps in care and information must be addressed efficiently and in a timely manner. Anticipating or closing gaps in care, at point of care, is an opportunity to improve care quality and cost of care. Gaps in information can adversely affect member outcomes and contribute to inappropriate costs. For providers and payers to improve population health value-based care two items must be addressed: Gaps in Care Information: Disparities in claims vs. clinical information which makes it difficult to assess if best practices are being followed: e.g. a diabetic member with no A1C or a member being prescribed insulin with no diabetes diagnosis. Incomplete Healthcare Information: For example, a request for cancer treatment without providing date of diagnosis or stage of illness at time of diagnosis to support effective care coordination. Bi-directional, real-time, FHIR-based communication that reconciles payer information with clinical EHR data to ensure best practices are followed, improve outcomes, and exchange information to reduce expense and disruption to provider workflows.
