HITEQ Highlights: TEFCA - Transforming Healthcare Interoperability: What Health Centers Need to Know

HITEQ Highlights Webinar

This presentation explored the Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement (TEFCA) and its impact on health centers. We examined how TEFCA differs from previous interoperability efforts, the benefits it offers to providers and patients, and practical steps for participation and implementation. Key topics included:

  • The structure and purpose of TEFCA as established under the 21st Century Cures Act
  • How TEFCA creates a "universal floor of interoperability" through Qualified Health Information Networks (QHINs)
  • Benefits for healthcare delivery including enhanced care coordination, more complete patient records, and reduced redundant testing
  • Patient experience improvements through streamlined access to health information
  • Practical guidance for organizational readiness and implementation planning
  • Future developments including the three-year roadmap for FHIR integration

Ideal for healthcare administrators, IT leaders, compliance officers, and clinical leadership preparing for this significant advancement in healthcare information exchange.
