The future of health data exchange

Technical foundation for TEFCA-enabled data exchange

TEFCA is accelerating the shift toward a more unified and secure nationwide health data exchange ecosystem. This third whitepaper in the series focuses on the technical foundation needed to operationalize TEFCA, with a clear look at its exchange modalities, FHIR-based workflows, and the role of USCDI in enabling consistent and standards-aligned data sharing.

The paper highlights key implementation components, including trust services, identity resolution, authentication, provenance, and data quality safeguards. It also outlines practical accelerators, including schema mapping, HL7 to FHIR conversion, and automated data profiling, that help organizations simplify adoption and improve interoperability readiness.
