What is the purpose of the Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement (TEFCA)?
TEFCA will provide value by supporting exchange of health information across stakeholders, consistent with applicable law. It will advance the following opportunities:
Providers’ ability to get the data they need to provide the best care possible for patients.
People will have easier access to their complete health history in one place.
Health plans and providers will face fewer burdens when sharing information to support care coordination, case management, and health plan operations.
Public health departments will have more nimble access to the information they need, while providers that currently expend tremendous resources connecting to numerous single-purpose public health reporting channels or report through non-digital means will have simpler connectivity.
