Maria D. Moen, senior vice president of innovation and external affairs at ADVault, will be among the presenters at the annual meeting of the Society for Post-Acute and Long Term Care Medicine (PALTC)/American Medical Directors Association (AMDA) March 9-12 in Tampa. Moen’s presentation will encapsulate the work the PACIO community has done to facilitate coordinated care and improved outcomes in long-term, post-acute care.

The Post-Acute Care Interoperability Project (PACIO) is a collaborative effort between industry, government, and other stakeholders. It is supported by MITRE, a CMS contractor hired to provide the framework for important interoperability projects including the development of HL7® FHIR® (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) implementation guides that will facilitate the electronic exchange of health information across the healthcare continuum. These guides will establish a common language and process for all health information technology systems to communicate, allowing information to be shared seamlessly and efficiently.

Moen currently serves on the PACIO leadership team and is the lead of its Advance Directive Interoperability (ADI) w/FHIR project. Her March 9 presentation will highlight the status of the five PACIO implementation guides under development: Functional Status, Cognitive Status, Re-assessment Timepoints, Advance Directives, and SPLASCH (Speech, Language, Swallowing, Cognitive Communication, and Hearing). Each of these guides are aligned and compatible with the IMPACT Act of 2014 and the 21st Century Cures Act of 2016 which focus on making data accessible as a patient transitions through multiple care settings.

“ADVault is strongly committed to ensuring that ACP documents and portable medical orders are readily and easily available across the healthcare eco-system when and where they are needed most urgently,” said Moen. “This includes leading the HL7® Project to create implementation guides for person-authored documents such as advance directives or personal advance care plans using FHIR. We are also creating the HL7® FHIR® implementation guides for practitioner-authored portable medical orders such as POLST, MOST, and DNR orders. It is critical that the industry embrace technology fully to ensure that a person’s goals, preferences, and priorities for future medical care are digitally accessible between systems and applications.”

Moen brings to her presentation more than 25 years in a variety of long-term, post-acute care and technology leadership roles. A frequent speaker and nationally-recognized thought leader on issues pertaining to advance care planning, Moen is a member of the HIMSS Interoperability & HIE Committee, the 2022 chair of the HIMSS LTPAC Committee and a CMS Innovation Grant Leader, to name a few. In late 2021 she was honored as an Interoperability Hero by DirectTrust, a non-profit healthcare industry alliance that recognizes those organizations, teams, and individuals integral to advancing interoperability.

PALTC represents a community of more than 50,000 medical directors, physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and other practitioners working in the various post-acute and long-term care settings. Information on its March conference is available at https://tinyurl.com/3ykxwdek
