This presentation will cover the project history, give a summary of current use cases, explain the development process, and dive into the technical aspects of a few key use cases. We will also cover how UnitedHealthcare has leveraged Da Vinci Project in our EMR Integration Service Layer (EISL) which acts as a gateway between that payer’s internal systems and their network providers.
