It does this through various factors, such as shifting from a traditional service delivery model, an explosion in patient data and a constantly increasing need to interconnect multiple healthcare systems. One of the most significant platforms supporting this change is the Facets Open Access Solution for addressing the problems regarding decentralized data storage and management, and insufficient patient engagement. This paper describes how Facets Open Access can integrate various healthcare industry players, including care providers, payers, and third-party services. From this study, selected areas that can be adopted in the Facets architecture include open APIs, HL7 FHIR, and advanced analytics. Firstly, we examine its modularity features, data management procedures and integration channels. The study also expands upon the most important implementation accomplishments in different cases, such as shortening the time to process claims, increasing patient data visibility and the payer-provider partnership. Additionally, architectural modelling, simulation results, and usability metrics would be used in the methodology to support the conclusion of the system's applicability. In conclusion, several considerations regarding the potential of Facets Open Access for further expansion of national health information networking are presented with its compliance with governing legal acts: HIPAA and the 21st Century Cures Act. This work is aimed at the policymakers, IT specialists, and managers interested in moving to value-based care following the advanced integration platforms
