It provides information about ACEP (American College of Emergency Physicians), including its membership, chapters, and sections of interest. It also introduces the Interoperability Institute (IOI), a non-profit organization focused on enabling interoperability and standards.<br /><br />The document highlights the value derived from data in terms of sources, gaps, standards, velocity, volume, variety, veracity, variability, and value. It mentions the use of natural language processing as a powerful tool for extracting value from data.<br /><br />It discusses data standards, including the USCDI v3 Quality, FHIR, and HL-7. It also mentions leveraging FHIR and SMART EHRs for interoperability.<br /><br />The document explains quality measures and their significance in quantifying healthcare processes, outcomes, and patient perceptions. It mentions their alignment with CMS Measure Roadmap and Domains. It also discusses the need for BPM Health to build a diverse library of solutions, break silos, and break barriers.<br /><br />It introduces the InterOp.Community, a collaboration aimed at advancing healthcare interoperability through open platforms and open-source software. It also provides information about Meld Global, which offers a library of FHIR applications, simulated statewide ecosystems, open-source sandbox/digital twin code, course packs/learning labs, and a synthetic 'data fabric'.<br /><br />The document discusses two use cases: 1st trimester bleeding and alternatives to opioids in low back pain (LBP). It explains the benefits of using Meld for creating, testing, and validating healthcare applications in a standards-based simulation environment.<br /><br />The document introduces the Data Institute Vision & Mission and mentions the Emergency Medicine Data Institute's involvement in MIPS, advanced payment models, regulations, improvement activities, research platform, and more.<br /><br />It also provides information about the diverse patient population and mentions the transformation of data into wisdom, knowledge, information, and utilization in clinical policies and research.<br /><br />Finally, the document includes an image of the MELD Sandbox and lists various copyright notices.
