MA Health Data Consortium Selects Datycs to Enhance Clinical Data Exchange with FHIR
Massachusetts Health Data Consortium Selects Datycs to Streamline Clinical Data
The Massachusetts Health Data Consortium selected Datycs to streamline the management of clinical data.
Summary
The Massachusetts Health Data Consortium (MHDC) selected Datycs for a new standards-based solution aimed at enhancing clinical data sharing for quality measurement. This initiative will integrate FHIR APIs, enabling real-time prior authorization and automated data exchange alongside existing electronic data interchange capabilities.
Key Players
Details
This project is being implemented through the next generation of MHDC's longstanding New England Healthcare Exchange Network (NEHEN) service, named NEHEN FHIR. While the original NEHEN supported X12 Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) for claims and eligibility transactions, the new version incorporates FHIR APIs to enable real-time prior authorization and clinical data exchange for quality measurement and reporting via a single connection. MHDC emphasized that adopting a common FHIR-based approach is essential for meeting state and federal reporting requirements, streamlining data collection between payers and providers, and ultimately improving patient outcomes. MHDC plans to engage with industry groups, such as NCQA and HL7, to facilitate the adoption of a unified standard. The consortium aims to reduce complexity and administrative burden by establishing a shared FHIR-based standard for quality measure data exchange. Datycs' CEO expressed excitement about this expanded role, anticipating that it will contribute to measuring and improving the quality of healthcare in the region.
