The Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement was published by The Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) on January 18, 2022. TEFCA was created to establish a universal floor of interoperability across the country. TEFCA establishes the infrastructure model to securely share basic clinical information with each other as well as a common set of non-binding, foundational principles for trust policies and practices that can help facilitate health information exchange.
