Implementation of TEFCA for treatment purpose

What is broad goal of TEFCA?

TEFCA stands for Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement and is published by the Office for National Coordination on Health IT (ONC) in the year 2022. The broader goal of TEFCA was that access to nationwide health information would give providers, patients, and payers with a more comprehensive picture of the care delivered, as well as support broader public health efforts. Patients would be able to get a consolidated e-copy of their health records while providers would get a comprehensive view of patients’ health from the aggregated health records from across the nation. Payers would be able to optimize the health plans to best cater to the needs of the people.
