Summary
Epic Systems will transition its customers to the Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement (TEFCA), an initiative mandated by the 21st Century Cures Act to enhance nationwide health information interoperability, by the end of 2024. TEFCA offers a unified governance and technical standard framework, and Epic Nexus has been designated as a Qualified Health Information Network to facilitate this transition. Carequality, which currently connects a vast network of healthcare providers and is used by Epic’s community, has also announced plans to align with TEFCA. Despite past controversies over record requests, Epic assures continued support for Carequality during the transition to ensure successful interoperability.
