Currently, we support onramps to these clinical networks.
The Carequality Interoperability Framework is a nationwide network of healthcare organizations with over 600K providers, 50K clinics, over 4,200 hospitals, and millions of patient records. Carequality participants exchange over 150M clinical summary documents every month. Learn about using an onramp to Carequality.
Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement (TEFCA) is a nationwide trusted network built upon a decade of best practices. By setting common policies, technical standards, and governance structures, TEFCA streamlines health information exchange while ensuring privacy, security, and patient consent protections.
To access TEFCA, you must use a certified Qualified Health Information Network (QHIN). Currently, we support accessing TEFCA via CommonWell. Learn about using an onramp to TEFCA.
CommonWell Health Alliance is a nonprofit member-driven alliance and Qualified Health Information Network (QHIN). The organization is dedicated to the secure and seamless flow of healthcare data to improve patient care and the vision that all healthcare data should be available to clinicians, care teams, and patients, regardless of where care occurs. CommonWell connects 36,000 provider organizations that support 240 million lives. Learn more about CommonWell.
You can onramp to CommonWell or use CommonWell as a QHIN to access TEFCA.
Clinical networks support the exchange of C-CDA documents, which is an industry-standard for exchanging patient and visit information.
The two primary types of supported documents are:
- Patient summary: Represents a nearly current snapshot of a patient’s chart.
- Visit summary: Contains a patient’s chart for a specific visit. A visit summary is considered accurate as of the visit date.
Each network participant returning patient data in response to queries must follow the rules outlined in the table below. Also, learn more details about HL7 standards.
