Blog from April, 2020

• Review of upcoming demos, next week's call will be used for a rehearsal.
• IHE Profile work updates, several participants offered help

Discussion on the uses of LOINC codes as the content type code in the Submission Set.

85187-3 Long term care facility Transfer summary note - for the case where it is an actual transfer from the hospital the SNF

85199-8 Long term care facility Referral note - for the case where it is a referral from an ambulatory setting to the SNF

We will try to get some feedback from CMS.

On the other hand, there are two transactions pushing documents from the hospital - one for the request, another when the actual transfer takes place. In that case the codes could be used like this:

• Hospital to SNF request: 85199-8
• Hospital to selected SNF at time of transfer: 85187-3
• Ambulatory setting to SNF request: 85199-8

Is the common code for request helpful or harmful?

Rehearsal for the demo

Update on demo opportunities:

• DirectTrust Clinicians Steering Workgroup - Noon Eastern April 14 meeting. They plan to also invite the Physician EHR Coalition (PEHRC). DirectTrust can also provide the EMDI questionnaire to attendants.
• LeadingAge State Technology Initiatives - May 5th is a possible date. Epic to confirm participation.
• The Annual DirectTrust Summit in June - there is a 360X demo already planned, not the same as the HIMSS demo.
• HIMSS LTPAC committee - very interested, they will get back to us with possible dates.
• The VA - They are looking at May dates, they will invite Cerner, and they want to invite the DoD.
• The CMS EMDI Initiative (which is sponsoring the first production 360X pilot) are working on a June date.
• NCQA is interested in a presentation (not demo).

Assuming that the April 14 demo will go ahead, we plan to use next week's call on Friday, April 10 (10:30 - 12:30 Eastern) and Monday, April 13 (3-4 pm Eastern) for rehearsal.

Vassil to send e-mail when this is reflected in the minutes.
