MEDNETWorld.com (MEDNET) will be featured at the March 1-4, 2010 Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) annual conference in Atlanta, Ga. with a special demonstration at the “Interoperability Booth” by MEDNET Chief Architect Seonho Kim. On March 4, MEDNET CEO John Fraser will give a presentation on Identity Management in a Federated Nationwide Health Information Network (NHIN).
The demonstration will show how administrative data is exchanged across the NHIN between a state Medicaid organization, an HIE and a healthcare provider. Enabling Medicaid Eligibility Verification through the NHIN will allow providers, health care organizations and health information technology vendors to more quickly and cost-efficiently support administrative transactions between the health care provider and payer communities.
Kim was appointed to lead the NHIN Medicaid Eligibility Project team to develop new NHIN specifications for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) as part of the Medicaid Information Technology Architecture (MITA) initiative. Kim has extensive experience designing distributed systems for academia and industry and sits on several national healthcare committees and NHIN workgroup and committees. Fraser was also appointed a member of the project team and will contribute his industry knowledge and expertise.
