The Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement (TEFCA) for health information networks was published in January 2022 and the first set of Qualified Health Information Networks (QHINs) were approved to implement TEFCA and began exchanging data in late 2023. A 2025 survey of U.S. hospitals found that over 40 percent of hospitals are aware of TEFCA and currently participate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Differences in awareness and plans to participate in TEFCA can provide insight into the hospitals and populations most likely to participate in and benefit from TEFCA. Approximately 5 out of 10 hospitals that participated in national networks (eHealth exchange, CommonWell Health Alliance, or Carequality) or health information exchanges (HIEs) are currently participating in TEFCA, compared to 1 out of 10 hospitals that did not participate in either type of network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
