ActualMeds experts to highlight real-world use case to promote scalable medication reconciliation across care settings
Tallahassee – July 9, 2025 – ActualMeds, the industry leader in patient-centered, comprehensive medication management, today announced that the company is participating in The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMMS) 5th annual HL7® FHIR® Connectathon with a focus on transitions of care and standardized medication profiles across the spectrum of care, including ambulatory or acute care, PAC, and Home and Community Based Organizations.
This important track, sponsored by the CMS Division of Chronic and Post-Acute Care, aims to advance interoperable health information exchange for transitions of care to, from, and between long-term post-acute care providers by establishing profiles and data sets for transitions of care and standardized medication profiles that support each of the disciplinary roles involved in post-acute patient care.
ActualMeds is demonstrating the use of the FHIR standard to support interoperable health information exchange around medication reconciliation at sequential points in a complex care continuum for high-risk, older patients. The company's demonstration showcases the ingestion of data from available sources in the patient's care continuum and the routing back of end results from pharmacist led medication reconciliation, including structured medication lists, structured care plans, and summary documents.
"The CMS Connectathon is an opportunity for like-minded leaders to develop a more consistent, standards-based approach to exchanging medication information with pharmacists, other care team members, and payers for transitions of care," said Anne Marie Biernacki, ActualMeds' Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer, who will be a key participant in the track. "We're excited to showcase how ActualMeds medication management platform enables pharmacists to follow patients through the care continuum by providing best practice medication reconciliation that reduces adverse drug events that are a leading cause of re-admissions at a transition of care."
Building on ActualMeds' participation in three previous Connectathons, this year's demonstration introduces a significant advancement: the structured Medication Action Plan as part of the Standard Care Plan construct in the FHIR implementation. This novel use of Care Plan fields for pharmacist-driven interventions represents a breakthrough in making medication reconciliation summaries truly interoperable.
The CMS virtual event on July 16-18, 2025, brings together developers, programmers, technology experts, analysts, and CMS leaders to learn about and test emerging FHIR Application Programming Interfaces and supporting FHIR Implementation Guides.
