What is the National Interoperability Collaborative (NIC)?
NIC is a “Community of Networks” designed to
increase collaboration within and across multiple
domains to improve health, safety, well-being and
operations.
We focus on Six Domains:
Human Services, Public Health, Education, Public Safety,
Emergency Medical Response, Health Care IT
"NIC is an idea whose time has come!"David Fukazawa, Managing Director of Kresge Foundation's Health Program

NIC is collaboratively developing a National
Action Agenda over the next nine months.
It will serve as a roadmap to guide the design, development and
implementation of system-level, cross-domain
interoperability to advance SDOH post COVID19.

The FHIR at Scale Taskforce (FAST), convened by the Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT (ONC), brings together a highly representative group of motivated healthcare industry stakeholders and health information technology experts.
What is FAST?
The group is set to identify HL7® Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR®) scalability gaps and possible solutions, analysis that will address current barriers and will accelerate FHIR adoption at scale.

API Overview
APIs…• An API is a software intermediary which
allows applications to talk to each other
• APIs allow the capabilities or data of one computer program to be used by another
• Lego blocks of data
• Doesn’t matter what the underlying computer or technology is
• APIs are a foundational technology that drives modern computing and the API economy (Amazon, Netflix, Google, Facebook, EBay, YouTube, Twitter, & etc.)
• APIs enable innovation in an unprecedented manner
• APIs are not new… simplified, easy to use versions of them are
YOUR
APPTHEIR
APPAPI
REQUEST
DATA
DEVELOPERSwill access your assets through your API to build Mobile Apps and Web Apps based
on the data and software you share.
THE APIprovides universal access to whatever
assets you choose to share. Developers can "plug in" their apps and data.
ASSETSYour data and software
(and brand) become more valuable by being leveraged
by partners, developers, and third-party services.
END USERShave access to apps that
provide richer experiences by leveraging the data and
services of other apps.

WHAT IS FHIR?
*Representational State Transfer (REST) defines a set of constraints used for creating web services
FHIR® — Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources
• An HL7 next generation standard
• Helps two computer systems talk to each other
FHIR "resources" are standardized & reusable
• Patient, practitioner, organization, deviceRequest
FHIR supports common exchange methods
• REST*, messaging, documents and services
FHIR supports the spectrum of integration
• Mobile phone apps, EHR-based data sharing,
institutional solutions
FHIR helps with existing use cases & provides for future
innovation

Why FHIR Adoption?
Comprehensive data integration
Promote progressive FHIR adoption
Reduce redundancy and duplication
Improve in-workflow data exchange to support value-based care and population health
CMS and ONC rules call for widespread APIs adoption using FHIR to enable consumers access to their health data
Drive innovation through data accessibility
Unlock new capabilities through API/ service methodologies
Improve consistency as an impetus for accelerating clinical data exchange
Reduce costs and time needed for infrastructure so it can be spent on patient care

Tying to Reality and Making Practical via CMS & ONC Rules
Mandating FHIR and consumer mediation as foundations of an integrated, competitive, and innovation friendly ecosystem.
/CMS/ONC proposes rules that align with market forces and reflect industry trends.
They provide yet another dimension to the interoperability inflection point we are in.
CMS Rule (CMS-9115-P)
• Patient access through standards based FHIR APIs
• Information exchange and care coordination across payers
• API based provider directories
• Care coordination through trusted exchange networks
ONC Rule (RIN 0955-AA01)
• Implements information blocking provision of Cures Act (and 7 exceptions)
• Standards based APIs
• Certification criteria
• Content specifications

FAST Vision of The Future
A National Solution for FHIR Endpoint DiscoveryThe model incudes an API-enabled national source for validated directory information available to any local directory or workflow. The directory contains entity and individual information to determine endpoint relationships. Also, endpoint information will include supported IG’s, trust frameworks, meta data requirements, etc.
Supporting Multiple Production Versions of FHIRMoving forward, most resources, extensions, & profiles will be normative. The FHIR version supported by a partner will be available as part of directory services endpoint discovery and as part of the FHIR servers' conformance statement. In addition, all FHIR artifacts provide version number as part of the exchange. New versions will be backwards compatible for normative content.
Requirements for FHIR RESTful Exchange IntermediariesThe ecosystem will support a mixed model (point to point, gateways, and intermediary). Performance and availability requirements will need to be established and all other dimensions of FAST will need to operate as planned.

FAST Vision of The Future
Reliable Routing with Metadata Across Intermediaries Reliable Routing Across Intermediaries Using Destination SpecificGiven that the future includes both point to point, gateway, and intermediaries, the model ensures reliable routing across one or many hops since the FHIR artifact carries its routing identifiers.

Mediated Patient MatchingCollaborative Patient MatchingDistributed Identity ManagementThe FAST proposals for identity include models to reliably match patients in real-time using contemporary technologies including FHIR. Proposed solutions including near real-time patient matching using FHIR match operations (mediated patient matching), collaborative patient matching in which patient identifier is assigned and participants agree on usage and cross-walks models, and a network of trusted identity matching services (patient matching with FHIR match and local and global identifiers with future support for patient and payer).

Trusted Dynamic Client RegistrationAuthentication & AuthorizationAgile, reliable, secure access is foundational to the ecosystem of the future. The FAST model supports the ability for dynamic yet trustworthy access to data. A trusted ecosystem enabled by proposed solutions including dynamic client registration and client token request and JWT based client authorization and authentication.

FAST Vision of The Future
A National Solution for FHIR Endpoint DiscoveryThe model incudes an API-enabled national source for validated directory information available to any local directory or workflow. The directory contains entity and individual information to determine endpoint relationships. Also, endpoint information will include supported IG’s, trust frameworks, meta data requirements, etc.
Supporting Multiple Production Versions of FHIRMoving forward, most resources, extensions, & profiles will be normative. The FHIR version supported by a partner will be available as part of directory services endpoint discovery and as part of the FHIR servers' conformance statement. In addition, all FHIR artifacts provide version number as part of the exchange. New versions will be backwards compatible for normative content.
Requirements for FHIR RESTful Exchange IntermediariesThe ecosystem will support a mixed model (point to point, gateways, and intermediary). Performance and availability requirements will need to be established and all other dimensions of FAST will need to operate as planned.
Reliable Routing with Metadata Across Intermediaries Reliable Routing Across Intermediaries Using Destination SpecificGiven that the future includes both point to point, gateway, and intermediaries, the model ensures reliable routing across one or many hops since the FHIR artifact carries its routing identifiers.

Upcoming Webinar: It’s a WIN: A New, Data-Driven Approach for Measuring Well-Being
April 24 | 12:00pm-1:30 pm ET
How might a loss of jobs in the transportation sector affect deaths of despair, such as those caused by alcohol, drugs or suicide? How might broadband access affect people’s movement from rural to urban areas? Insights into questions such as these are being provided for the first time by the Well-being in the Nation (WIN) measures, which examine how data across sectors might influence population and community health. This webinar/discussion will focus on the process of developing the measures, review the first multi-sector findings regarding community well-being, and share insights relating to their application.
