One Goal; One Contract: How a Nationwide Health Data Sharing Framework is Revolutionizing Interoperability

This fits in with Quture's software for HFACS Model to make it standardized national and international imo.


Think of a highway where there is no guidance to regulate how drivers must operate while on it. It would be chaotic and dangerous, to say the least. The same is true for the information networks that healthcare providers and patients traverse daily.

While we often focus on the technical challenges of health IT interoperability, the process of negotiating terms and expectations among exchange partners are equally critical in determining success or failure. Health data sharing agreements must address governance, policy, and legal questions. This time-intensive negotiation process plays out again and again, each time a new health data sharing partnership is pursued.

There is a better way.

Organizations seeking to share health data with multiple partners, as most interoperability strategies require, will benefit from utilizing a common trust agreement. By choosing one comprehensive and legally-binding framework, your organization can save time and money each time a new data sharing connection is made without negotiating one-off agreements and duplicative work. There are a few nationwide agreements already in production serving complementary functions, including the first health data sharing network common legal agreement implemented by the eHealth Exchange and the first network-to-network common legal agreement implemented by Carequality. Choosing the best common nationwide data sharing agreement for you will depend on a careful review of governance, responsibilities of the exchange partners, policies related to the purposes for which data will be exchanged, data re-use, and other privacy and security obligations, technical standards, liability and other key components.
