The initiative, centered around research, clinical trials and various applications, aims to get leaders from the EHR space, health systems, cancer centers and other industry stakeholders to collaborate in workgroup meetings. 

In these meetings, participants will work to establish the necessary USCDI+ Cancer data elements for submission via HL7 Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources  application programming interface. The standardization of these data elements will contribute to the CMS Enhancing Oncology Model, seeking to enhance care coordination for individuals with cancer, according to a Dec. 18 news release from Meditech. 

Meditech interoperability and oncology leaders will participate in these workgroups to support the data exchange.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
