New Drupal Module Simplifies Price Transparency for Hospitals
Horizontal recently developed and contributed a new Drupal module designed to simplify hospital compliance with U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) regulations. As detailed by Dan Flanagan on the Horizontal blog, the "Hospital Price Transparency" (HPT) module addresses the need for hospitals to post machine-readable pricing files with specific naming conventions and update them annually.
Dan highlights that while Drupal is already capable of managing such files, the HPT module streamlines the process by introducing a new content entity type. This allows administrators to easily create, manage, and update these files across multiple hospital locations. The module also ensures CMS-compliant naming, supports large file uploads, and provides automatic updates to linked files. This contribution is expected to make Drupal a more attractive option for healthcare providers managing complex compliance requirements.
