We’re thrilled to announce that MEDITECH has joined our Qualified Health Information Network (#QHIN) to support its recently announced US-based Traverse Exchange #interoperability network with real-time access to comprehensive patient data. Built on the same foundation as MEDITECH’s successful Traverse Exchange Canada solution, this new private network will enable participating MEDITECH customers to share health data seamlessly and securely with one another as well as with organizations using other vendor EHRs and exchange networks that comply with interoperability standards. “Our team at Health Gorilla has been looking forward to the opportunity to build on the work we’ve already accomplished with MEDITECH in Canada and support their new US network,” said Steve Yaskin, CEO and Co-founder of Health Gorilla. “MEDITECH has shown an unparalleled commitment to improving interoperability, and we’re proud to support them as they begin to participate in TEFCA through our QHIN and scale their Traverse Exchange network.”

As the adoption of TEFCA grows, the ability to more easily exchange patient data across hospitals, clinics, payers, and patients will become "real," Brendan Keeler noted. The health information networks will broaden beyond provider-to-provider exchange to include provider-to-patient and provider-to-payer. Dave Cassel, now chief customer officer at Health Gorilla, noted in a blog post that both announcements signal that Carequality, founded more than ten years ago, will eventually be "ceding the stage to #TEFCA" in the larger industry-wide movement toward universal connectivity. “My reading is that Epic’s customers will be transitioning to TEFCA between now and the end of 2025 and that Epic’s support for #Carequality will not continue into 2026," Dave Cassel wrote. https://lnkd.in/eAAVqkg7
Recent moves by Epic, Carequality mark a major shift in interoperability, health IT experts say

Last Friday, Carequality announced its intention to thoughtfully align with the Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement (#TEFCA). Later that day, Epic commended Carequality for its decision but also stated its intention to move the entire Epic community to TEFCA by the end of 2025, stating that it would continue to support its customers’ connectivity to Carequality through the transition. While these may sound like relatively standard announcements given the traction TEFCA is now receiving, they have the potential to create significant shifts in the interoperability space. In our most recent blog, our Chief Customer Officer, Dave Cassel, shares his thoughts on the matter. Dave brings a unique perspective to this situation, having been the first Executive Director of Carequality, where he helped develop many policies and procedures that are still used today. Check out the blog below.

ASTP/ONC proposal would require HHS contractors to use certified health IT tech. Section 13112 of the HITECH Act specifies that agencies, as defined in Executive Order 13410, shall require in contracts or agreements with health care providers, health plans, or health insurance issuers that as each provider, plan, or issuer implements, acquires, or upgrades health IT systems, it shall utilize, where available, health IT systems and products that meet standards and implementation specifications adopted under Section 3004 of the PHSA. In summary, the proposed rule says that healthcare providers, health plans and insurers that contract with HHS may be required to use ONC-certified technology. Historically, ONC has only certified electronic health records. The new rule could impact the technology that a broader swath of the healthcare industry is using, like public health data and health information systems. #tefca #qhin
