Jay Nakashima, President at eHealth Exchange We continue to move closer to realizing the dream of complete interoperability, and TEFCA is a big part of that. eHealth Exchange is proud to be one of the first Designated QHINs. Policies like the 21st Century Cures Act and ONC/CMS rules enhance data access and prevent information blocking.
Jay Nakashima, President at eHealth Exchange Keeping patient data safe and private is our top priority. TEFCA proposes that the adoption of FHIR access with OAuth2.0 We address the privacy and security of sensitive health data in two ways. will help in providing secure access through third-party entities/applications.
The ONC Cures Act APIs and the companion CMS Access APIs all require these modern FHIR-based technologies and are fundamentally designed to grow a vibrant digital health economy providing choice and value to consumers. These API protocols are known and used by hundreds of thousands of developers.

In the last article I show how PDQm can be made Asynchronous by using the FHIR Subscription. For example the eHealth Exchange and CareQuality don't have any use of asynchronous while they have required everyone to support it. This improvement can also be done using FHIR Subscription and orchestration of each notification.
The benefits of connecting to a QHIN via Redox A single connection for all your integration needs: Redox will connect our customers to TEFCA, while also connecting them to any other system required to power their solutions, workflows, or analytics, via a single HL7 ® Fast Interoperability Healthcare Resources (FHIR ® ) or Redox JSON-based API.
The main takeaway: Exchanging healthcare data is going to include multiple layers of policy and technology , not just TEFCA but also FHIR, HIEs, Direct Messages, APIs, and much more.

Andy Oram discussed how adopting FHIR should be a no-brainer for better public health data collection and sharing – and how that must be followed up with standards for what data should be collected and shared. Read more… Can a Modern Approach to Data Collection Save the CDC ?
Here are some specific reflections: FHIR adoption: We missed the mark on our HL7® Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR®) growth prediction.

FHIR has a solution ready to be used. I worked with a developer who implemented this as an internal API to their implementation that interfaces with the eHealth Exchange (Sequoia Network). Lastly the Responder/InitiatingGateway must have a blocking thread for this many minutes too, taking up precious resources on the middleware.
John Lynn caught up with Jay Nakashima at eHealth Exchange about the vital role information exchange plays in supporting public health. They also discuss how FHIR and TEFCA are helping the cause. Read more… Promoting Health Record Sharing Both Past and Future.

Access to medical records makes for better decision-making within payer organizations, but requests can create a burden on short-staffed providers.
For health care, the application of FHIR standards helps mobilize data for better health, turbocharging this trend. APIs, Internet of (Healthy) Things, and AR/VR among the others are getting deployed in retail channels and at home to support peoples’ health in the real world, in real time outside of the clinical setting.
Don Rucker, currently at 1up Health, expressed concerns that TEFCA is based on outdated ways of thinking , whether it’s emphasizing data exchange among EHR systems, leveraging proprietary security protocols, or limited recognition of the well-established FHIR standard.
