Title:
USCDI+ and FHIR Accelerators: Transforming Quality, Public Health and Cancer
Description:
This session will focus on how HL7 FHIR Accelerators, via partnerships across public and private organizations, can synergize with policymakers to drive healthcare transformation. Policymakers establish foundational support for standardized health data exchange via open, consensus-based standards while implementation-focused use cases provide real world insight into future policymaking. This presentation highlights how this feedback loop between policymakers and HL7 FHIR Accelerators is propelling forward the next generation of quality measurement and public health reporting.
The United States Core Data for Interoperability Plus (USCDI+) initiative supports identification and establishment of domain or program-specific data element lists that extend the existing United States Core Data for Interoperability (USCDI). USCDI+ focuses on quality, cancer, maternal health, and public health. Specific to quality, the CodeX HL7 FHIR Accelerator Quality Measures for Cancer use case informs policy initiatives, including USCDI+ Quality and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ (CMS) Enhancing Oncology Model (EOM). CodeX’s Cancer Registry Reporting Use Case informs Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Cancer Reporting modernization efforts. In this feedback loop, we demonstrate what can be achieved by leveraging FHIR standards and partnering with a community for real-world demonstration of new, innovative quality measures and public health reporting.
