Summary
Brendan Keeler from HTD Health highlights the significant yet incomplete progress of healthcare organizations in adopting the Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement (TEFCA). While Epic aims to have all its affiliated organizations committed to TEFCA by the end of 2024, many large health systems, academic institutions, and health service providers—including Northwell Health and CVS Health—have yet to pledge. This lag in participation raises concerns about interoperability and data sharing, which are critical for improving patient care and streamlining healthcare processes. The delayed adoption by key players underscores ongoing challenges in achieving a fully connected healthcare ecosystem.
