A set of interactive gools to conduct self-assessments at a public health agency. Covers both informatics and interoperability.

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.

Surveillance modernization efforts emphasize the potential use of electronic health record (EHR) data to inform public health surveillance and prevention. However, EHR data streams vary widely in their completeness, accuracy, and representativeness. This publication describes a validation process developed by the Multi-State EHR-Based Network for Disease Surveillance (MENDS) pilot project to identify and resolve data quality issues that could affect chronic disease prevalence estimates.

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.

This presentation is a review of the Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement (TEFCA) and its relationship to public health. The recording is a presentation to the Tennessee Informatics Community of Practice.

Resources resulting from a Public Health FHIR Implementation Collaborative workshop include a high-level overview of FHIR, a more in-depth review of the rules, regulations, and policy framework behind interoperability, and a workshop summary.

This presentation provides an overview of the Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement (TEFCA) which has the overall goal to establish a floor of universal interoperability across the country. The Common Agreement will establish the infrastructure model and the governing approach for users in different networks to securely share basic clinical information with each other—all under commonly agreed-to expectations and rules.

 

Readiness assessment designed to increase state birth defects program capability to exchange electronic health information with clinical electronic health records systems (EHRs).

This training will focus on; Preparing for change; What is change management; Why is change management important; Who is involved in change management; and​ When do you address change management in an interoperability approach. In addition, in the second part of this webinar we will touch on the “how” of change management with some high-level strategies for approaching change management in interoperability work.
