The solution adjusts to CMS' proposed policy changes and initiatives such as Blue Button 2.0 and MyHealthEData, to support patient data accessibility, advance electronic data exchange and care coordination throughout the healthcare system. WHAT: FHIRing Up the Cloud: How Edifecs and Google Replicated GuideWell's BB 2.0 Framework for the Cloud. This presentation will demonstrate a simulation of how GuideWell, a health solutions company that serves 27 million people, could deploy the Edifecs Smart Trading Platform on Google Cloud to securely share information with its health insurance members. Attendees will learn how medical and financial data formats such as HL7 v2.5 and HIPAA 5010A1, CCD can be mapped to FHIR and seamlessly loaded into the Google Cloud Health FHIR server, through Edifecs' module for FHIR, and then accessed by a member.
