In this RosettaHealth podcast interview, we speak with Scott Stuewe, CEO and president of DirectTrust, about his organization’s new Consensus Body that is developing an implementation guide that utilizes the Direct Standard to increase interoperability between ADT notifications.

In response to the new CMS rule on Admission, Discharge, Transfer (ADT) notifications, many EHR vendors and their customers are seeking out a way to standardize how these notifications could be sent and received using DirectTrust’s Direct Standard. 

As such, DirectTrust recently announced the launch of a new Consensus Body to help meet this mission. The new Consensus Body is an outcome of DirectTrust’s EHR Roundtable, which is focused on ensuring that Direct Secure Messaging is widely deployed, and implemented to its full capacity to optimize utilization and provide the best possible patient care. The EHR Roundtable is a collaborative effort of 14 vendors that comprise more than 90 percent of the EHR market.
