Last week, eHealth Exchange announced that CRISP Shared Services, which provides health information exchange (HIE) and health data utility infrastructure for five statewide non-profit HIE organizations, intends to be the first participant in eHealth Exchange’s anticipated Qualified Health Information Network (QHIN).

eHealth Exchange must first go through the application process and be selected to serve as a QHIN under the Office of the National Coordinator’s (ONC’s) Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement (TEFCA).

According to eHealth Exchange, the organization is ideally suited to be among the nation’s first QHINs, when the application period opens this fall. The network has 13 years of experience supporting large-scale health information exchange across a network of diverse participants, including 64 regional and state HIEs. This experience includes supporting more than 30 different electronic medical record technologies.

“The eHealth Exchange is thrilled that CRISP Shared Services is moving forward with TEFCA participation through our to-be-designated QHIN,” said Jay Nakashima, executive director of eHealth Exchange, in this press release. “We are diligently preparing to be a QHIN on behalf of members such as CRISP Shared Services. This will provide a seamless experience for the organizations coming forward with intentions to participate in this federally endorsed framework for patient data sharing.”

As we highlighted in December 2021, thanks to the RosettaHealth platform, Healthcare Access San Antonio (HASA), the non-profit, community HIE for North, South and West Texas, was able to join eHealth Exchange.

In addition, the RosettaHealth platform makes it possible to share data with other systems on CommonWell, which has more than 22,000 healthcare provider sites in its nationwide network.

The RosettaHealth HealthBus platform makes this all possible by leveraging technology, server-less, and cloud infrastructure to provide scalable, secure information transport, data wrangling, and orchestration services – removing development time, and cost and maintenance of in-house infrastructure.
