Navigating the nationwide exchange framework

What if healthcare data could move seamlessly?

In today’s healthcare system, data is digitized but disconnected. Providers lack access to complete patient histories, payers struggle with fragmented datasets, and patients are left navigating a system where their health information is scattered across institutions.

TEFCA, the Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement, is designed to change that. It is designed to create a secure, standardized, and trusted nationwide framework for health information exchange.

This is the first in a multi-part whitepaper series that lays the foundation for understanding TEFCA’s strategic role in transforming U.S. healthcare interoperability. It explores:

• Laws: The foundation layer
• Federal regulators: The strategic drivers
• Institutional framework: From policy to practice
• Governance and compliance: The backbone of trust
• Beneficiaries & outcomes: Who gains from TEFCA?
