But digitization alone doesn’t prove that the automated workflows will work at scale\, across different EHR systems\, in production conditions. \nThis is where testing enters. And testing for policy digitization across multiple EHRs is harder than it looks. \nItiliti Health has spent years working directly with health plan customers on policy digitization. They’ve seen where the automation breaks\, where EHR vendors interpret policies differently\, and where documentation gaps trip up workflows. \nDrummond has conducted extensive testing on the Clinical Request for Documentation (CRD) standard\, and now faces the next phase: testing digitized policies themselves. \nThis webinar brings those two perspectives together. You’ll hear from Itiliti Health about the real challenges their customers face when testing policies across vendor systems. Then you’ll see how Drummond’s FHIRplace testing framework addresses those gaps. \nThis is grounded in customer experience\, not specification theory. \nWhat You’ll Learn\nThe State of CRD Testing and What It Revealed\nDrummond has completed extensive testing on how EHRs and payers handle Clinical Request for Documentation requests. Timothy Bennett and Leeanne Sanders what that data shows: \n\nWhat scope of participants and testing conditions\nKey findings on policy digitization from the CRD request/response cycle\nWhere EHRs and payers interpret digitized policies differently\nWhy clean data models matter for accurate authorization decisions\nPatterns that emerged across different EHR vendors and provider workflows\n\nThis foundation explains why the next phase of testing is critical. \nReal-World Implementation Challenges\nItiliti Health brings direct experience. Michael Lunzer shares firsthand what his health plan customers encounter when they try to test digitized policies: \n\nVariability in how different EHR systems read and apply policy data\nDocumentation and template requirements that cause automation to fail\nHow policy complexity translates into testing complexity\nReal examples from customer implementations (anonymized)\nWhy this testing matters for meeting the CMS deadline and building internal confidence in the rollout\n\nYou’ll hear the specific friction points that policy models alone don’t reveal. \nFrom Challenges to Testing Strategy\nWith those challenges mapped\, the webinar connects them to testing solutions. How does FHIRplace testing address what you just heard? \n\nHow FHIRplace’s approach tackles policy digitization across vendor environments\nWhy continuous testing matters as policies change and EHR versions update\nHow Drummond helps health plans de-risk policy digitization rollouts\nTimeline and process for certification\nNext steps for plans and payers ready to test\n\nWhy This Matters\nDigitization is not a one-time event.\nPlans change. Vendors update systems. Providers introduce new workflows. Continuous testing keeps the automation aligned with change. A policy that works in testing in month one may have issues when an EHR releases a new version in month three.  \nPolicy digitization requires testing across the systems that will actually use it.\nData models alone don’t tell you what will happen in production. You need to see how EHRs consume the policy data\, apply it to real clinical scenarios\, and generate responses. Gaps in that testing don’t surface until go-live.  \nCustomer experience informs better testing.\nItiliti Health’s on-the-ground work with health plans reveals gaps that pure specification reviews miss. Specification compliance and real-world usability are not the same thing. That’s why this conversation matters.  \nDrummond’s role is to provide the infrastructure to close that gap.\nFHIRplace provides the testing framework health plans need to go live with confidence. You test against policy data modeled as it will be\, across EHRs that will consume it\, in conditions that simulate production.  \nSpeakers\n \nTimothy Bennett \nDirector\, Strategic Healthcare Initiatives \n \nLeeanne Sanders \nDirector Interoperability Program Management \n \nMichael Lunzer \nChief Executive Officer\, Itiliti Health URL:https://www.drummondgroup.com/event/prior-authorization-policy-digitization/ LOCATION:Virtual CATEGORIES:Webinars and Videos ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/webp:https://www.drummondgroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/Prior-Authorization-Oct-1-400x400-1.webp END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20261002T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20261002T130000 DTSTAMP:20261022T201517Z CREATED:20260921T200918Z LAST-MODIFIED:20261022T201517Z UID:52272-1790942400-1790946000@www.drummondgroup.com SUMMARY:Insider ONC Learning Session - October 2026 DESCRIPTION:On-Demand Webinar\nInsider ONC Learning Session\nA live session with Drummond’s ONC test lab team that covers what has changed and what to expect with the ONC Health IT Testing and Certification program\, as well as tips and best practices. \nRecorded: Friday\, October 2\, 2026 \n \n Watch Now\n \nStraight Answers From the Test Lab\nONC Health IT Certification guidance\, testing tools\, and requirements can shift with little to no warning and confound even the most seasoned Health IT developer. \nDrummond certifies more Health IT products than all other ACBS combined.  When we say our proctors are experts in the ONC Health IT Testing and Certification program\, we mean it. \nJoin our Insider Session and learn from the people who work directly with the ONC and who run the tests you need to pass before your product can be certified. \nWhether you have been through the program many times before or are just now considering certifying your health IT product you won’t want to miss this session. \n  \nWhat To Expect\nOur speakers will discuss current changes to requirements and what it means for developers.

What does the process actually involve? What will an auditor expect to see? How should teams prepare internally? And what processes and tools need to be in place to make the journey as effective as possible?  \nJoin Drummond and Hicomply for a discussion designed for organizations looking to get their first SOC 2 certification\, or prepare for their first audit.  \nBringing together the auditor\, operational and organizational perspective\, this session will explore what GRC and Security leaders should know before beginning their journey\, the common challenges to avoid and best practice for building the right foundations from the outset.  \nKey Learnings\n\nWhy organizations are pursuing SOC 2 – the customer\, commercial and security drivers increasingly influencing the decision \nWhat SOC 2 readiness looks like from the auditor’s perspective – what organizations should have in place\, how to tackle the common challenges and approach evolving expectations \nHow to modernize your approach\, and what to look for in the right compliance platform to strengthen internal ownership\, maintain program visibility and reduce manual effort \nHow to embed your compliance program into everyday business operations\, avoiding audit scramble and building solid foundations for continuous SOC 2 compliance \n\nWhether customer demand has put SOC 2 on your roadmap\, you’re actively preparing for your first audit or looking for a more effective way to manage the process\, this webinar will provide practical insight into what good looks like.  \nSpeakers\n \nMichael Henry \nVP of Growth StrategyDrummond \n \nSimon Noble \nSVP\, Global ChannelHicomply  \nWatch Now URL:https://www.drummondgroup.com/event/the-smarter-path-to-soc-2/ LOCATION:Virtual CATEGORIES:Webinars and Videos ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.drummondgroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/SOC-2-w-Hicomply-Webinar-Featured.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20261026 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20261030 DTSTAMP:20260921T180548Z CREATED:20260918T205534Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260921T180548Z UID:52227-1792972800-1793318399@www.drummondgroup.com SUMMARY:WEDI 2026 National Conference DESCRIPTION:Join us at the 2026 WEDI National Conference\nOctober 26-29\, 2026 | Washington\, DC + Virtual \n \n Register Now\n \nWhile You’re There – Meet With Tim\nGrab some time on Tim’s calendar to talk about FHIR interoperability while you’re at the WEDI National Conference. \n \nTimothy BennettDirector StrategicHealthcare Initiatives \n \n Schedule a Meeting\n \n \n \n Register Now URL:https://www.drummondgroup.com/event/wedi-2026-national-conference/ LOCATION:Virtual CATEGORIES:Conference ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/webp:https://www.drummondgroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/National-1.webp END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
