From Pledge to Practice: Interoperability that Powers SDOH Referral Loop Closure in Value-Based Care

Webinar

This complimentary webinar is brought to you by

Anchored by TEFCA—the national “network‑of‑networks” for trusted health information exchange—federal policy is laying the baseline rails for data sharing across QHINs that complement CMS’s pledge‑driven “CMS‑Aligned Networks.” Data liquidity is now table‑stakes for compliance and payment accuracy, and the organizations that treat interoperability as a business capability will see the greatest lift in value‑based care. That urgency is reflected in the July 2025 pledge signed by 60+ technology, payer, EHR, HIN, and health system leaders, including Centauri Health Solutions, to accelerate a patient‑centric, interoperable digital health ecosystem.

To deliver on these commitments, federal efforts are moving from broad pledges to workflow‑level standards, including ASTP/ONC’s 360X Closed‑Loop Referral. This protocol is transformative for ambulatory treatment referrals; however, this may matter most for developing and implementing impactful social determinants of health (SDOH) initiatives. SDOH drive the majority of modifiable health outcomes and closed‑loop digital referrals to community partners are a therefore a material lever on healthcare cost and quality. Join us to ground your teams in the interoperability fundamentals and the SDOH closed‑loop referral use case required designed to ensure timely, bi‑directional exchange, verified completion of services, and demonstrable improvements aligned with today’s value‑based payment requirements.  

 

Topics at a Glance

  • Understanding Interoperable Frameworks and Networks: A Primer

  • The Closed-Loop Referral Use Case: Bi‑directional Referrals From Provider EHR → To Specialist EHR Acceptance/Scheduling → Service → Results Back to Provider HER

  • >Defining SDOH, Impacts and The SDOH Closed-Loop Referral Use Case: Screen‑to‑service digital referrals with community partners, verified completion and attribution, documentation (e.g., Z‑codes), and ties to value‑based measures and population health

Top Reasons to Attend

  • Differentiate between interoperability "frameworks" and "networks" to establish a baseline understanding of how health data exchange functions.

  • Understand the different existing exchange frameworks.

  • Review the ASTP/ONC 360X Closed Loop Referral to understand how it transforms a standard referral from a provider's EHR into a "closed-loop" process with data integration by the recipient and reports back to the provider's EHR.

  • Assess the technical prerequisites for success, specifically the role of EHR vendors and Health Information Service Providers (HISPs) in supporting the protocols required for 360X, including for the Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) Use Case.

  • Define SDOH and identify the correlation between unaddressed social needs, increased healthcare utilization and cost, and less than optimal outcomes, and the role of addressing these determinants in population health and value-based care initiatives.

  • Explore how the 360X use case specifically supports addressing SDOH and care management not only by supporting the provider EHR → acceptance/scheduling → service → results back to provider EHR loop, but also by ensuring patients screened for eligibility are successfully connected to resources without "falling through the cracks."
