2. What is Payer Extract
An approach to enable retrieving relevant patient
information directly from provider systems
Leverage emerging standards to streamline the payer
quality measure calculation process
Decrease development time for EHR Vendors, Payers,
and Quality Reporting Vendors
4. Terminology Integration
This connectathon we focused on terminology
integration
When the source server doesn’t have the value sets, use
the terminology server to resolve them
Engine “in-lines” the valueset codes into the URL
Obvious cons here, but for reasonably small valuesets, it’s
functional
Found and fixed several issues, we now have a
functional implementation that uses Apelon’s FHIR STU3
terminology server
5. Participant Feedback
We were able to successfully expose HEDIS valuesets as
FHIR ValueSet resources, and along the way found and
fixed several implementation issues
We were able to successfully calculate CQL-Based
measure cohorts using a FHIR server as the data source
We feel that we can move forward with the approach
using FHIR rather than the myriad other formats we
currently have to consume
