Over the past several months, health data exchange has focused on assuring that relevant COVID-19-related data is transmitted to public health and health oversight authorities. But new data sharing requirements from CMS and ONC will soon go into effect and begin to be enforced. What are some of these new requirements, who is impacted by them, and when will they take effect? This presentation will hit the highlights of the new interoperability rules and consider how they could change healthcare during the pandemic and beyond.

For many people, the COVID-19 pandemic is reshaping almost every aspect of daily life, including food, entertainment, social life, exercise, and work. In addition to mask-wearing and social distancing, everyday activities are more digital and virtual than ever before.
In healthcare, the pandemic catalyzed an almost overnight adoption of telehealth. But that’s just the start. A surge in the use of digital tools by consumers and providers (including new types of healthcare competitors) is coming together with a growing understanding that health happens everywhere, including at home.
There are critical implications for healthcare providers, both established and new, including: strengthening personal relationships with consumers, adopting new models for data sharing, and finding ways to incorporate the social determinants of health and the widening inequality gap exacerbated by the pandemic.

n this session, we will focus on pushing and innovating on interoperability beyond traditional use cases, such as transitions of care. Scenarios will include the application of interoperability to tie together all the ancillary platforms that may be used for solving discrete needs and workflows in health systems and clinical offices with their EHR.

The coronavirus pandemic forced new behaviors and life-flows on households, re-shaping patients into health consumers beyond seeking hygiene and mobile apps for home gym workouts. Jane will discuss this evolving health consumer, increasingly aware of the importance for and power of their health citizenship: access to health care services, digital citizenship, trust, and ultimately, a new social contract for health and wellbeing: Love (#WearTheMask).

Telehealth is not a new technology, but one that has, to date, not been effectively leveraged as a necessary component of the US healthcare delivery system or considered as part of the data sharing needs for this system. As we stand at a turning point to meaningfully expand our virtual care delivery, these panelists will:

Advancing technology, changes in healthcare payment models, the 21st Century Cures Act, and new diseases are all driving the health data ecosystem toward greater interoperability. 2020 has been a year of tremendous change with the finalization of the ONC and CMS interoperability rules, the rapid advancement of public health interoperability, innovative offerings from tech companies, new use cases for regional health information exchange and progress toward a national Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement. Dr. Steven Lane, a practicing primary care physician and clinical informaticist at Sutter Health in Northern California, will share his perspectives as an end user, a system implementer, a member of the ONC’s Health IT Advisory Committee, and key committees at HL7, HIMSS, The Sequoia Project, DirectTrust and Carequality.

COVID-19 Vaccine distribution, tracking and monitoring presents an unprecedented logistical and patient communication challenge. Andrea will discuss how Public Access and Vaccine Education (PAVE), a network of organizations that helps those who need, give, and support COVID vaccinations; helps navigate these challenges by providing trusted and accurate information, establishing simple patient communication, and empowering patients with a self-management framework.

Healthcare’s vision of becoming Patient Centric is closer to become a reality starting next year, with ONC FAST and CMS Final rule providing a statutory framework for interoperability and patient access of data. Patients and members will have the ability to access their healthcare data through any preferred App that can meet the requirements for interoperability within the Regulatory Framework like HIPAA from OCR and FTC privacy rules.
But there is a lot of work still to be done to achieve Ubiquity for 3rd party access of patient data. It starts with discovery and follows with a comprehensive trust framework, that is repeatable, scalable and efficiently reduced friction and blocking without compromising on security and privacy. We have HL7 FHIR standards that provide the technical framework, and the healthcare industry is now collaborating on an operational framework.
This session will share ideas and approaches for a cross-industry framework to discover apps and endpoints, common Privacy Attestations and their scoring, Identity verification, authentication and conformance to interoperability standards and security frameworks. We will talk about the education that plans and providers need to offer to Third-party apps and patients or members.
We can learn from what’s working in the financial services industry and what’s different for healthcare, taking the most efficient approach to build a trust framework that removes the friction for patient access. We will cover this with some industrywide initiatives and ideas in play to build these multi-stakeholder operational workflows.
