CPN Implementation Guidebook - Rebecca Baker 15 mins

The discussion focused what CV Administrators should know about the CPN Guide. It was suggested to use four separate buckets of expertise: purchasing, sustainability, operations, and external reporting. It would be helpful if the companion guide could provide more detailed information around the value proposition for interoperability in broad terms, but also more specifically with CPN. The use case for CPN does mention longitudinal tracking of patients, but it doesn't give financial perspectives. It might be useful to state how this is the first step towards a global structured reporting solution.
