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 questions included in this FAQ were collected from the ASTHO Connects session, “TEFCA Overview and Perspectives from the Field” held on April 4, 2024 and follow-on questions from the session, as well as the ONC and CDC’s TEFCA Community of Practice. The questions answered in this document are not exhaustive: this FAQ will be considered a living document with updates made as ASTHO and its partners are able to answer additional questions.
