Regional Initiatives
National Provider Identifier (NPI):
- In November, 2004, the Consortium convened a workgroup to focus
on issues related to the NPI. The workgroup created three sub-groups
as follows:
- Communications Sub-group: the goal of this sub-group
is to determine the messages, vehicles, and target audiences
regarding NPI requirements. The sub-group is co-chaired by
representatives from BCBSMA (Roberta Zackman and Tanya Trombly)
and Children's Hospital (Nancy Dunn and David Gates)
- Implementation Sub-group: the goal of this sub-group
is to develop community-based approaches to NPI implementation
that make the process easier for all parties. There is a
planning group consisting of members from the Board of Registration
in Medicine (Dan Murphy), CareGroup (Larry Markson MD), the
state Medicaid program MassHealth (Elizabeth Shields), the
Massachusetts Medical Society (Dana Cooper), and Harvard
Pilgrim Health Care (Rita Hunt and Natalie Cunningham).
- Sub-Parts Sub-group: the goal of this sub-group
is to identify issues and develop best practices related
to the NPI sub-parts requirements. It is chaired by Linda
Guerra of the Beth Israel Deaconess Physician Organization.
- The Implementation Sub-group has worked with the Board of Registration
in Medicine (BORIM), Massachusetts' physician licensing agency,
to develop an approach to bulk enumerate physicians in the state.
You can find this initiative described in their press
release.
