SUBJECT:
Complying with a New Regulation
Statement
of Problem
The
recent new regulation by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) recommends
changes to how essential administrative and clinical information are exchanged
between care stakeholders and to support effectual care coordination. According
to the new regulations, payers are advised to use application programming
interfaces (APIs) to ameliorate the electronic exchange of care information.
This means that the information system for the business will need to be updated
by the vendor to include a new data point to allow sharing of healthcare
information with patients or exchange of healthcare information between payers
or between care provider and payer.
Clarification
of Role
As
a Health Information Management professional, my role is to design, organize, manage,
and follow up on implementing the new regulation at Mercy Vale Medical Center.
It will be significant to stay up-to-date with the status of the new regulation
at the facility and minimize potential issues that may arise during the
implementation of the new regulation (Gleeson, 2021). Therefore, HIM
professionals will need to understand the applicability of the new regulation and
data point within the business and plan for an effective strategy to adopt APIs
in the electronic exchange of healthcare information. Specifically, the HIM
department will help develop an approach to utilizing APIs that supports
population management, care, and communication with the patients.
