How to share files securely and HIPAA compliant

In healthcare, data silos have long stood in the way of better coordination, smarter insights, and patient-centered innovation. But momentum is building toward change. With new enforcement actions from HHS and recent court rulings, information blocking—the improper restriction of electronic health information—faces unprecedented scrutiny. This marks a meaningful shift toward true interoperability, where data flows securely and efficiently to support better outcomes. In a new post, Jonathan E. Goldin, Chief Legal Officer at Pearl Health, examines how policy, technology, and market forces are converging to advance data sharing—and why interoperability is not just a compliance requirement, but a strategic imperative for the future of healthcare. 🔗 Read the full article: https://lnkd.in/efcaCHQf #Interoperability #HealthcareInnovation #HealthTech #ValueBasedCare

Accurate patient identity is the foundation of interoperability — but without a national standard, healthcare continues to face costly and dangerous mismatches. In a recent article by Health Data Management, Kathryn Ayers Wickenhauser, MBA, FACHDM, CHPC explores what it will take to strengthen identity assurance and patient matching across the healthcare ecosystem. Progress will depend on collaboration and alignment around privacy-enhancing, standards-based approaches that ensure every record truly belongs to the right individual.

If you’ve worked with provider data long enough, you’ve probably lost a few good hours (or years) to one deceptively simple question: “Where does this provider actually see patients?” Reconciling external service location data to internal sources sounds straightforward… right up until you try it. What should be a clean address match usually turns into a scavenger hunt through conflicting records, billing locations disguised as clinics, and phantom offices that somehow refuse to die. Between credentialing systems, EHRs, payer rosters, and state licensing boards, you’ll find a dozen different addresses, all claiming to be the “true” service location. Some are old. Some are billing offices. Some were entered by hand five years ago and never touched again. And meanwhile, every directory, claim system, and analytics report assumes they’re all correct. (Adorable.) 📉 Here’s what the data says: - CMS audits found ~48% of provider-location listings in Medicare Advantage directories had at least one inaccuracy. - A JAMA study of 449,000 physicians found that only 27.9% had consistent practice-location addresses across five major insurer directories. - Address consistency fell to 13% when a provider appeared in multiple directories. -CAQH estimates that 70% of directory inaccuracies trace back to provider-location data. -These errors cost U.S. practices $2.7 billion annually in manual directory updates and rework. If you’ve ever tried mapping service locations at scale, you know the truth: the service location isn’t a static address - it’s a relationship between a provider, a place, and a point in time. #ProviderData #HealthcareData #DataQuality #ProviderDirectory #HealthIT #NetworkAccuracy #ProviderMatching

This is why monitoring site locations license is so important to site service locations records and the GEO network adequacy / directory reporting. A good provider data operations team / operations workflows should tap into their CVOs facility data to stay current with their site service locations. NCQA 2025 Credentialing will require CVOs to monitor license every 30 days now rather than waiting for the 3 years re-credentialing event, it also applies to OIG & SAM. NCQA 2025, professional licenses are now monitored by CVOs every 30 days as well as their OIG & SAMs. What this means in the long run CVOs will save operations workflows ROI with all the capped network Adequacy and Directory. If the professionals and site facilities do not renew their license or show they have reapplied for their license they're out of network and facilities are in breach of their contract in regards to notifying their MCOs within 10- 15 days, this applies to both professionals and site service locations. Professional note as a former regulatory Medicaid Behavioral Health Network Adequacy reporting Senior Manager, I witnessed every silo of teams screwing around with licenses and license site service locations addresses flipping them both like pancakes which makes it very difficult to terminate loss of licenses sites and professionals. It also makes it very difficult to explain to regulators why network adequacy and directory is a yo-yo of misinformation. Ideally the addresses should be a one to one match to facilities licensed addresses weight scored against the GEO software (ie Alteryx, LexisNexis, QNXT TriZetto - GEO & Location Intelligence MELISSA).
