FHIR Master Data Management Implementation Meetup
An online FHIR meetup focused on Master Data Management implementation in real healthcare systems.
We'll discuss what it takes to embed MDM into production workflows, integrations, data steward operations, billing, front desk processes, EHR environments, and data exchange scenarios.
About the Meetup
Every MDM project is unique. In production, the main challenge is implementation — embedding MDM into the workflows, integrations, and operations a healthcare system already runs on.
Especially relevant for healthcare architects, engineering leaders, FHIR and interoperability teams, MDM/MPI teams, EHR vendors, HIEs, TEFCA-related exchange teams, payer and provider organizations, revenue cycle management teams, and data governance professionals.
How MDM fits into real system architecture and connects to EHRs, billing, front desk, analytics, care management, and data exchange.
Designing review queues, manual resolution workflows, and the day-to-day operations behind real MDM.
Audit trails, non-duplicate decisions, and operational accountability — and how this differs across customers and governance models.
Where FHIR helps with MDM implementation, and where additional implementation guidance — possibly an IG — may be needed.
How MDM shows up in TEFCA-related scenarios and other large-scale interoperability workflows.
Lightning Talks
Short practical talks, 10–20 minutes each, followed by discussion.
The business side of MDM implementation
Governance, operating models, stewardship, stakeholder alignment, and what makes MDM projects succeed beyond the technology layer.
Customizing MDM implementation with agents
How Health Samurai approaches customer-specific MDM implementation: configurable workflows, implementation hooks, automation, agents, and FHIR-native architecture.
What is missing in current standards for MDM implementation
Why real-world MDM needs more than existing standards provide, where implementation guidance is missing, and why the community may need an IG for healthcare MDM.
MDM in the context of TEFCA and national exchange
How MDM appears in TEFCA-related workflows, what challenges emerge when organizations exchange data at scale, and where MDM implementation needs to evolve.
Why billing needs MDM
How inconsistent or fragmented master data affects revenue cycle management, claims, lab billing, payer workflows, and operational reconciliation.
