Data Exchange Framework
An Information Hub for a Multi-Association Initiative
Groups including America’s Physician Groups, California Academy of Family Physicians, California Quality Collaborative, California Association of Area Agencies on Aging, California Association of Health Facilities, California Association of Health Information Exchanges, and Insure The Uninsured Project have come together to inform their members about the California Data Exchange Framework and Data Sharing Agreement (DSA). Transform Health and BluePath Health, through Connecting for Better Health, are providing facilitation and management support for this initiative.
Data Exchange Framework implementation is a multi-year process that has involved extensive stakeholder engagement. With stakeholders, the California Health and Human Services Agency’s Center for Data Insights and Innovation (CDII) has published a Data Sharing Agreement and associated Policies and Procedures (P&Ps) that explain the “rules of the road” for data sharing in California and will be continuously updated as needs change and standards evolve. There is also a mandate that certain specified entities sign the Data Sharing Agreement by January 31, 2023 and begin sharing data by January 31, 2024.
