Workshop Purpose and Objectives

The purpose of this workshop is to bring experts together from the standards development, operating rule authoring entity, federal government and industry, to collaborate on ideas to improve the update and adoption process. The objective is to build on strengths and best practices to identify opportunities for change to create paths to more predictable standards/operating rule update processes that will enable health plans, providers, clearinghouses and their trading partners to more effectively plan for implementation of new versions of standards and operating rules.    

Tentative Agenda

Individuals participating in the workshop have been invited to do so, as representatives of the standards development organizations, operating rule authoring entity and Designated Standards Maintenance Organization named in regulation by the Secretary of Health and Human Services.
