Education Sessions

1. Introduction to CMS Final Rule.
2. Comparing the outcomes of Fragmented and Coordinated Healthcare.
3. Implications of final rule on Patients, Providers and Payers.
4. Edifecs Interoperability Solution approach plus Implementation Options.
5. Additional References

The duration of the session is two hours.

This session is intended to provide an overview to the CMS Final Rule, and what it means to create a patient-centered healthcare.

We will also discuss its implications on Payers, Providers and Patients, and compare the outcomes of fragmented versus Coordinated healthcare. Finally, we will see the Edifecs solution for implementing the Final Rule and general guidelines for the implementation.

1. Standards in Healthcare IT and their importance in achieving Interoperability.
2. Patient-centered healthcare model.
3. Case studies on how interoperability impacts healthcare focusing three aspects: Improved outcome, lower cost, and quality improvement.
4. CMS Final Rule (Mandates and requirements to achieve interoperability).
5. Edifecs FHIR solution approach via demo on patient access API.

The duration of the session is two hours.

This session is intended for associates who need an introduction to healthcare interoperability and Edifecs FHIR solution.

Supplemented with relevant case studies, this session will serve as a strong foundation to understand what it means to be part of a future where patients will be at the center of entire healthcare ecosystem, given access to their information, and improve the outcome of their healthcare journey.

You will also be able to understand the role of payer, providers, app developers and role of Edifecs as a technology partner for this solution.

This session will be followed by more sessions where we will deep dive into technical aspects of FHIR Implementation.

1. Building blocks of FHIR.
2. Resources, components, and their properties.
3. FHIR Specifications, documentation, and Implementation options.
4. Technical, Content & Vocabulary standards.
5. Edifecs Approach & Solution.

The duration of the session is two hours.

This training session is intended for associates who want to understand the technical aspects of FHIR implementations.

Technical, Content and Vocabulary Standards: https://www.cms.gov/Regulations-and-Guidance/Guidance/Interoperability/index.
