### Da Vinci

Da Vinci is an industry sponsored project which is contributing to the development of HL7 standards. It brings together the U.S. payer, providers, and technology suppliers (including EHR vendors) to help payers and providers to positively impact clinical, quality, cost, and care management outcomes using FHIR-related technologies. The project organizes meetings (face-to-face and conference calls) as well as 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 the community as a whole.

The process that Da Vinci has adopted includes:

1. identify business, clinical, technical, and testing requirements,
2. develop and ballot a FHIR based implementation guide (IG),
3. develop a reference implementation (RI) that is used to demonstrate that the concepts in the IG are possible to implement,
4. pilot the standard,
5. support the production use of the IG to enable exchange of data to support interoperability for value-based care.

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.

### Underlying Technologies

This guide is based on the HL7 FHIR standard. Implementers of this specification therefore need to understand some basic information about these specifications.

#### FHIR

This implementation guide uses terminology, notations and design principles that are specific to FHIR. Before reading this implementation guide, it's important to be familiar with some of the basic principles of FHIR, as well as general guidance on how to read FHIR specifications. Readers who are unfamiliar with FHIR are encouraged to read (or at least skim) the following prior to reading the rest of this implementation guide.

- FHIR Overview
- Developer's Introduction (or Clinical Introduction)
- FHIR Data Types
- Using Codes
- References between Resources
- How to Read Resource & Profile Definitions and additional IG reading guidance
- Base Resource

This implementation guide supports the R4 version of the FHIR standard.

Implementers should also familiarize themselves with the FHIR resources used within the guide:

Resource | Relevance
--- | ---
Binary | Used to return the postable remittance copy
CapabilityStatement | Used to define conformance expectations for this guide
CodeSystem | Used to define custom codes specific to this guide
OperationDefinition | Used to define the two main operations used in this IG
Parameters | Used to provide the information for the operations
OperationOutcome | Used to return errors/warnings on operation results
StructureDefinition | Used when profiling resources and defining extensions
ValueSet | Used to define code bindings specific to this guide
