Eleven healthcare organizations using Epic’s software are now connected to a federally backed health information network.
The organizations went live on the Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement in July, an Epic spokesperson told Becker’s. TEFCA is a government-led initiative launched in 2022 to establish a nationwide standard for sharing electronic health data.
