This week I had a chance to attend the eHealth Exchange Annual meeting to learn more about what’s happening with their network along with a wide variety of inteorperability topics. The conference covered a wide range of topics from public health to TEFCA and everything in between. Plus, I couldn’t resist the FHIR pun.
eHealth Exchange , a non-profit started by Health & Human Services and now a separate non-profit, helps health care institutions exchange over two billion records a month. In this video, President Jay Nakashima explains the role they play, particularly in public health, scaling FHIR and TEFCA.

At eHealth Exchange, which is one of the first Qualified Health Information Networks™ (QHINs™) under TEFCA, we have a front-row seat to the framework’s ongoing implementation. But we believe that is a mistake.
The Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT’s Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement (TEFCA) is indeed an instance of transformational change. We’re building the next generation of FHIR into our services—and looking ahead to create new use cases for care settings that are still untapped. billion documents to date.
While that may not affect an individual patient whose data is included in the data set, it affects patient outcomes overall because it allows us to analyze the data and provide early interventions and programs. Jay Nakashima, President at eHealth Exchange Keeping patient data safe and private is our top priority.

Which EHR Innovations Can Enable Seamless Data Sharing Between Different Healthcare Providers ? Answers to our latest question for the Healthcare IT Today experts included utilizing FHIR and HL7 standards, emphasizing user-friendly interfaces, and integrating EHRs with patient management platforms.
Here are some specific reflections: FHIR adoption: We missed the mark on our HL7® Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR®) growth prediction. It certainly is growing, but FHIR has not picked up the steam we had hoped for in 2023. We reflected on that in our recap of 2023 FHIR DevDays. Sadly, he was wrong.
