MODESTO, CA USA -- PAYMENT/DELIVERY SYSTEM REFORM UPDATE NEWS SERVICE -- DECEMBER 1, 2021: In healthcare, "gaps in care" refers to the gaps that exist between best practices and actual patient care. Closing these gaps is important to deliver value-based care and quality of care. Additionally, care gaps, when not properly managed, can be both harmful and costly. Reporting of open care gaps and closing care gaps is a core component of value-based care between payers and providers.

Health Level Seven International (HL7), the not-for-profit, ANSI-accredited standards developing organization, introduced Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR), to address interoperability challenges as "a new standard for exchanging healthcare information electronically. The HL7 FHIR standard is well-suited to form the basis of real-time API data exchange between applications, devices, and systems. The HL7 Da Vinci Project was born out of the need to accelerate FHIR adoption" to support and integrate value-based care and payment model data exchange.
