Birds of a Feather Meeting: PIQI Framework

Join the HL7 Patient Information Quality Improvement (PIQI) community for an informal Birds of a Feather discussion focused on improving patient information quality. The PIQI Framework provides a consistent, format-independent approach for evaluating whether healthcare data is fit for clinical care, decision-making, and other intended uses. Participants will discuss data quality challenges, PIQI implementation experiences, connectathon activities, and opportunities to advance the framework. Whether you are an active PIQI contributor or are learning about the framework for the first time, all are welcome.

Data Quality in Focus: From Longitudinal Analysis to Federal Policy to Frameworks

The effectiveness of interoperability standards, including FHIR(TM), ultimately depends on the quality of the data being exchanged. Standards can ensure that information is structured, transmitted, and understood consistently, but they cannot by themselves guarantee that the underlying data is accurate, complete, or fit for purpose. As healthcare organizations increasingly rely on interoperable data for analytics, quality measurement, clinical decision support, and AI, data quality becomes a foundational requirement for realizing the full value of standards-based interoperability.

This session brings together three perspectives spanning longitudinal data analysis, federal policy, and open-source innovation to examine where data quality stands today and where it needs to go. Together, these perspectives will provide attendees with a multidimensional view of data quality, encompassing temporal analysis, policy alignment, and measurement frameworks, followed by audience discussion and Q&A.

Speakers:

Charlie Harp – CEO, Clinical Architecture
John D’Amore – Healthcare Interoperability Expert
Jonathan Nebeker – Senior Technical Advisor for Digital Quality Strategy, CMS

“What we love about Pivot is the ability to drill into documents and terms, deliver them real-time, and do so at a very granular level. [Other solutions we have evaluated] don’t have anything remotely close to this to investigate or provide feedback on what is occurring.”
