Introduction to Interoperability, Standards and the Role of the Public Health Domain expert

This presentation aims to introduce the Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement (TEFCA) in the context of public health participation in TEFCA-based data exchange. It features panelists who discuss how they envision their health agency benefiting from TEFCA and how they are preparing to participate. You will also learn more about the legal and policy considerations around TEFCA.

The interoperability of data, and delivery of a consistent level of data quality, are critical factors in the National Digital Health Strategy – both for quality of immediate care, and for the development of longer-term health strategies. This is the first of a three-part webinar series looking at interoperability and clinical terminologies, with a particular focus on the Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR), a key standard for interoperable data in Australia.
