Summary
Carequality has announced plans to align its interoperability strategy with the Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement (TEFCA). This move aims to integrate Carequality's existing framework, which connects over 600,000 care providers, with the federally-led TEFCA. Epic, a prominent participant in this framework, supports the alignment and expects all its clients to use the TEFCA-based Epic Nexus by the end of 2025. The initiative is seen as a way to enhance data exchange and trust between healthcare providers while maintaining patient data security. Carequality will also implement enhancements such as better directory integrity controls and aligning policy definitions with TEFCA.
