Summary: Bamboo Health, a technical notification vendor, supports CMS's goal of expanding patient event notifications but urges a phased approach to modernization. They argue that CMS should preserve existing HL7 v2 ADT capabilities as the production-ready standard while developing FHIR-based push frameworks and improving patient matching and directory data.
Bamboo Health submits the attached comments on CMS’s RFI regarding electronic event notifications. We recommend that CMS preserve real-time HL7 v2 ADT capabilities, advance FHIR through phased implementation rather than premature mandates, ensure TEFCA supports push-based workflows, and improve patient matching, attribution, provider directories, and behavioral health data sharing guidance.
