Agenda

In this webinar/discussion, we will explore technical details of NIC’s Project Unify. The session will be a deeper dive/continuation of the project progress report a week earlier. We’ll be discussing the architecture and technological underpinning that will power the proof of concept – and, importantly, make it replicable so that communities and organizations nationwide can adopt, adapt and reuse it. 

What you will learn

Webinar attendees will learn about Unify’s components, such as its open source and open API approach, its person-matching strategies, its use of synthetic data and user interfaces, and ongoing efforts to align the various data standards (FHIR/NIEM/CEDS) inhibiting frictionless data exchange. We’ll also provide an update on the InterOpathon that our partners from Interoperability Institute will be holding the same week. Finally, we’ll explore practical applications of Project Unify, including how it can provide guidance for specific programs such as CMMI’s Integrated Care for Kids initiative.
