Dental Data Exchange Project to Pilot Implementation Guides

ADA, HL7 seek to work with dental and medical health record vendors, clearinghouses, payers, and HIEs on FHIR Dental Data Exchange. An HL7 Dental Data Exchange Project is seeking vendor partners to participate in the piloting of the HL7 Clinical Document Architecture (CDA) and FHIR Dental Data Exchange implementation guides, with testing to occur in September 2023. This implementation guide provides HL7 FHIR resources to define standards for bidirectional information exchange between a medical and a dental provider or between dental providers. The Dental Data Exchange Project leverages the American Dental Association’s ANSI/ADA Standard No. 1084: Reference Core Data Set for Communication Among Dental and Other Health Information Systems as the foundation for the technical specifications in both standards.  Participation in the project is open to all, but the target audience for participation includes dental and medical health record vendors, clearinghouses, payers, health information exchanges, health systems, dental support organizations and technology leaders from dental practices.
