Epic Systems is pushing hospital customers to use new federal network for sharing medical records
Fri, Aug 16 2024
Key Points
- Epic Systems said Friday that its goal is to have its customers live on a government-backed medical records exchange network called TEFCA by 2025.
- TEFCA launched in December and aims to establish the legal and technical requirements for sharing patients data across hospitals and clinics.
- By committing to TEFCA, Epic will likely help lend credibility to the nascent network.
Epic said it commends Carequality’s decision to align with TEFCA and use the same definition of treatment. The company will continue to help customers facilitate exchanges through Carequality as they transition to TEFCA, the statement said.
