About the Call
- Main topic: We'll begin our orientation and exploration of the six domains with an overview and discussion about one of the key change drivers within Health Care today: Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement (TEFCA). This is one of the forces that will drive change within health care interoperability into the foreseeable future. We'd like to introduce other (non-health) domain partners to TEFCA so they understand the implications and can begin thinking about its impact to their organizations and domain.
- Our guest presenter for Friday's call is Lee Barrett. Among his other duties he is the Executive Director of The Electronic Healthcare Network Accreditation Commission (EHNAC), a federally recognized, standards development organization designed to improve transactional quality, operational efficiency and data security in healthcare, where has served in that capacity since the commission’s inception in 1993.
- As time permits, we'll also discuss opportunities and ideas for forming a 2nd LGT Project Team and also brainstorm and discuss topics and other speakers for the next two months of LGT's meetings. Education domain discussion is being planned for September 13th, along with an update by the Person Matching Workgroup.

Invite your colleagues and friends.
Daniel Stein, Dave Walsh

About TEFCA Presentation
In latter February 2019, the Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT (ONC) released a proposed rule to implement multiple health IT-related elements of Cures, including provisions on information blocking and certification of health IT using standards-based open application programming interfaces (APIs). On April 19, ONC released an updated second draft of its Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement (TEFCA), first released in January 2018 and also required by Cures. Taken together, these documents seek to accelerate and reshape the U.S. interoperability landscape.
This presentation will focus on reviewing the TEFCA Draft 2 proposed rule which seeks to complement the API data access model by creating a framework for trusted exchange that provides the integration between organizations, health information exchanges, networks, and frameworks that are increasingly exchanging health information. The TEFCA would use a consistent, standards-based trust framework that enables nationwide organizational and individual queries for health information as well as the ability to push health information messages to targeted locations.
