Pilot Introduction:
The electronic Long-Term Services & Supports (eLTSS) Initiative is an ONC-CMS partnership that is working towards the identification and testing of electronic standards that can enable the creation, exchange and re-use of interoperable service plans for use by health care and community-based long-term services and supports providers, payers and the individuals they serve. These plans can help to improve the coordination of health and social services that support an individual’s mental and physical health.
A pilot is a feasibility study or experimental trial launched on a relatively small scale to help an organization learn how a larger-scale project might work in practice. The eLTSS Pilot Program is driven by the functional requirements contained with the eLTSS Community identified eLTSS Use Case.
The purpose of the eLTSS Pilot phase is to validate evolving technology in real-world situations and aid in learning the policies that will be required for an operational system, identify barriers for implementation, and revise harmonized specifications based on real-world lessons learned. The pilot demonstrations will be transitioned to open source communities for future reference implementations and long term sustainment.
