The RCE team will be speaking at HIMSS23 in Chicago!
In 2018, the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) announced a vision for a single on-ramp for nationwide connectivity for heath information exchange. In 2019, ONC awarded The Sequoia Project, and sub-contractors including Carequality, a cooperative agreement to serve as the Recognized Coordinating Entity (RCE) to help achieve that vision of a “network of networks.” The RCE is responsible for developing, updating, implementing, and maintaining the Common Agreement component of the Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement (TEFCA). The Common Agreement will create the baseline technical and legal requirements for health information networks to share electronic health information and is part of the 21st Century Cures Act (Cures Act). The speakers will review the current scope and requirements of the TEFCA and the progress made by the RCE in collaboration with ONC, to include the Common Agreement and the Qualified Health Information Network (QHIN) Technical Framework. Opportunities for stakeholder and community input will be presented.
