Project and Participants

Da Vinci

Da Vinci is an HL7-sponsored project that brings together U.S. payers, providers, and technology suppliers to help payers and providers improve clinical, quality, cost, and care management outcomes using FHIR-related technologies. The project organizes meetings (face-to-face and conference calls) and connectathons to find ways to leverage FHIR technologies to support and integrate value-based care (VBC) data exchange across communities. Da Vinci identifies value-based care use cases of interest to its members and to the broader community.

The process that Da Vinci has adopted includes:

  1. identifying business, clinical, technical, and testing requirements
  2. developing and balloting a FHIR-based implementation guide (IG)
  3. developing reference implementations (RIs) to demonstrate that the concepts in the IG are possible to implement
  4. piloting the standard
  5. supporting the production use of the IG to enable exchange of data to support interoperability for value-based care

All Da Vinci work adheres to a common set of guiding principles.

Additional information about Da Vinci, its members, the use cases, and the implementation guides being developed can all be found on the HL7 website. Meeting minutes and other materials can be found on the Da Vinci Confluence page.

The PDex Formulary project:

  • Enables payers to share drug estimated cost and information (drug formulary) for patients/consumers applications
  • Improves clarity of patient cost under current or potential health plan.
  • Improves consumers ability to shop plan coverage better.

The project is sponsored by the HL7 Pharmacy Work Group

Additional information can be found on the PDex Formulary page on the HL7 Confluence site.
