Cambia Health Solutions has announced new partnerships with two major provider networks to deliver data interoperability use cases as part of the Da Vinci Project. In collaboration with Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) and MultiCare Connected Care (MCC), Cambia is building resources to enable critical data exchange in real-time, offering better communication, more efficient care, and less administrative burden for providers.
Da Vinci Project Overview
Founded by health plans, care providers and vendor organizations, the Da Vinci Project is an initiative to improve data exchange in value-based care and help organizations better deliver on clinical quality, cost, and care management outcomes. Members of the Da Vinci Project commit to working together to solve interoperability challenges by adopting HL7® Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (HL7 FHIR) as the standard for data exchange across value-based care communities.
Streamlining Medication Reconciliation with MultiCare Connected Care
Cambia and MCC are implementing a model where medication reconciliation is delivered directly from and to the electronic medical record. Through this simple workflow, providers can sign off virtually on medication reconciliation, allowing them to focus more on patient outcomes.
Automating Authorization Requirements with Oregon Health & Science University
Providers need the ability to access health plan coverage requirements in real-time to efficiently deliver care and make treatment decisions at the point-of-service. Together with OHSU, Cambia is advancing FHIR-based workflows to allow providers to easily request and receive information on prior authorizations. By establishing electronic versions of administrative and clinical requirements, prior authorization can be integrated into the provider’s daily clinical workflow, reducing the incidence of treatment denials and delays.
“Enabling provider organizations to discover specific payer requirements in real time could reduce administrative burden and improve timely access to care,” said Steven Z. Kassakian, MD, MS, Associate Chief Health Information Officer, OHSU. “Automatic authorizations could lower costs by increasing operational efficiencies and promoting better outcomes. We look forward to working with Cambia to help simplify data exchange, improve patient care, and develop national standards.”
