Smart Communities – Cities & Health November 19 @ 12 noon webinar: What is SMART Care and its Role in Addressing the Determinants of Health? No Community can be Smart if it does not support or address population health outcomes. Smart Communities and Cities may be most impactful when they are able to interoperate across systems that impact social determinants of health. This involves core health, human services or other non-health sector systems including, environmental health, emergency medical services, public safety, transportation, and education. Join us for this important one-hour look at how local and global leaders can effectively address local health challenges and support " a state of complete physical, mental and social wellbeing and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity"[1] by employing Smart Communities and Cities strategies.

New FDA Draft CDS Guidance The Cures Act excludes certain CDS software functions from device definition if all • four of these Criteria are met: 1. NOT intended to acquire, process, or analyze a medical image or a signal from an in vitro diagnostic device or a pattern or signal from a signal acquisition system 2. Intended for the purpose of displaying, analyzing, or printing medical information about a patient or other medical information (such as peer-reviewed clinical studies and clinical practice guidelines) 3. Intended for the purpose of supporting or providing recommendations to a health care professional about prevention, diagnosis, or treatment of a disease or condition; and 4. Intended for the purpose of enabling a health care professional to independently review the basis for such recommendations that such software presents so that it is not the intent that such health care professional rely primarily on any of such recommendations to make a clinical diagnosis or treatment decision regarding an individual patient 19

Ideas for HIMSS-PCHAlliance Comment Letter • Is using the International Medical Device Regulators Forum (IMDRF) Framework directionally-appropriate? • Is IMDRF intended to be “adopted”? • Does the guidance provide the clarity that the community needs? • The concept of “independently evaluate” still seems quite subjective • The emphasis is on CDS not intended to be relied upon, while in others (examples especially) the HCP does not rely upon • “Not intended” is controlled by the manufacturer; “Does not” is controlled by the HCP 21
Overview of MIPS Value Pathways CMS is committed to the transformation of the Merit-based Incentive Payment • System (MIPS) through the MIPS Value Pathways (MVPs) beginning in the 2021 performance year This new framework will: • • Remove barriers to Alternative Payment Model (APM) participation • Move away from siloed activities and towards an aligned set of measure options more relevant to a clinician’s scope of practice that is meaningful to patient care • Promote value by focusing on Quality and Cost measures and Improvement Activities built on a foundation of population health measures calculated from administrative claims-based quality measures and Promoting Interoperability concepts CMS is finalizing a modified proposal to define MVPs as a subset of measures and • activities established through rulemaking 22
