#MIRROR MIRROR ON THE WALL OR MAGIC MIRROR ON THE WALL UPDATE#
Update their current CCDA to include the additional data elements included in the USCDI v1 As most EHRs currently support data-sharing through CCDA as part of their certification, EHR vendors will need to do the following:

Although the EHR developers do NOT need to update their certification to support the USCDI dependent certification criteria until December 31st, 2022, they will still need to support data-sharing, so they are not counted as a Information Blocker by Apr 5, 2021. We discussed in our previous blog how this dataset aligns with the most common standard today – CCDA. The ONC rule requirements focus on a minimum data set based on USCDI v1 standard. When selecting a FHIR solution, you should ensure that the solution, at a minimum supports the features required for compliance for your organization.Ĭompliance is Just a Means to an End. The final rule does NOT require you to support all the Resources, or all the other features included in the FHIR specification either. No FHIR solution provider claims to support every single feature. These Resources can be assembled in various ways to solve real-world clinical and administrative problems. It is a very elaborate specification built on a set of modular healthcare data components called “Resources”. So, how do you really decide which FHIR® solution is the fairest choice for your organization? Let’s start with some facts and follow a logical path.įast Healthcare Interoperability Resources - FHIR® is a next generation healthcare standards framework created by HL7. Unfortunately, there is no magic mirror available that can tell you which solution is truly ready to meet these requirements. In the last few months, there has been an inundation of new offerings in the healthcare IT marketplace all claiming to be able to meet or even exceed these requirements. These requirements are based on HL7® FHIR® R4 standard. These final rules established certain requirements for healthcare providers, EHR vendors and payers to support patients’ access and control of their electronic health information. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced two final rules, one by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and the other by the ONC for implementation of the 21st Century Cures Act. Could we have a similar mirror that tells us which solution is the right fit when we need one? Earlier this year, the U.S. It has always been a mystery to me how the magic mirror decided what was “fair”. We have all heard the fairytale of the Snow White and the Evil Queen.
