Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement (TEFCA) outline a set of principles, terms and conditions to facilitate the development of health information exchange network across the nation[1]. The process engages Government, private and public entities to develop a common agreement to allow healthcare stakeholders to exchange information across health information networks (HIN).

The Trusted Exchange Framework (TEF) Draft 1
The first draft of TEF was published by the ONC (Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology) in January 5, 2018[2]. It provides a framework and vision for how qualified health information networks (QHIN) and the recognized coordinating entity (RCE) function. The framework focused on:
- Empowering individuals to use their Electronic Health Information to the fullest extent;
- Enabling providers and communities to deliver smarter, safer, and more efficient care; and
- Promotes innovation at all levels[3].
TEFCA establishes QHIN to standardize HIE inter-connectivity. Each health information network has to enter into agreements with TEFCA which facilitates the standardized methodology to share information. Once they have made these agreements they are able to become a qualified health information network (QHIN)[4].
A recognized coordination entity is established to act as the governing body of multiple QHINs. Of note, on September 3, 2019 ONC awarded The Sequoia Project a cooperative agreement to serve as the RCE[5].
