Event Notifications via the Direct Standard™

Care teams should be informed when a mutual patient experiences an event, like a hospital admission, discharge, or transfer (ADT). In response to the CMS requirement that hospitals electronically send ADT notifications by May 1, 2021, a Consensus Body formed to identify a solution using Direct Secure Messaging for both senders and receivers of these notifications. Forty organizations and individuals representing the care continuum collaborated on an Implementation Guide for Event Notifications via the Direct Standard™.

Access the Implementation Guide and additional resources about Event Notifications via Direct below.

We’re excited to bring organizations together to test their implementation, as well as provide feedback, of the IG at the Adoptathon on April 8th! Any organization or participant is welcome. Learn more about the Event Notifications Adoptathon here.

Registered Observers of the event will be invited to attend a pre-session that will provide insight into what Observers will witness at the Adoptathon.

The following organizations and individuals participate in the Event Notifications via Direct Consensus Body, or have committed to implement the Implementation Guide.  If your organization is committed to adopting/implementing the IG, take the pledge below to be added to this page! Additional information about Implementers and their solutions can be found from the link below.
