"These additional QHINs expand TEFCA's reach and provide additional connectivity choices for patients, health care providers, hospitals, public health agencies, health insurers, and other authorized health care professionals," said Micky Tripathi, Ph.D., national coordinator for health information technology."On behalf of ONC, I want to congratulate CommonWell Health Alliance and Kno2 for their achievement.
"The designation of these two QHINs, which brings the total number of QHINs to seven, highlights the rapid expansion of TEFCA exchange and the support of more and more leaders around TEFCA exchange," said Mariann Yeager, CEO of The Sequoia Project and RCE lead. Common Agreement Version 2.0, which is anticipated to include enhancements and updates to require support for Health Level Seven Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources based transactions, is actively under development and scheduled to be adopted by QHINs within the first quarter of 2024.Biden-Harris Administration Announces Action to Increase Access to Sickle Cell Disease Treatments
