Introduction to Interoperability, Standards and the Role of the Public Health Domain expert

This presentation aims to introduce the Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement (TEFCA) in the context of public health participation in TEFCA-based data exchange. It features panelists who discuss how they envision their health agency benefiting from TEFCA and how they are preparing to participate. You will also learn more about the legal and policy considerations around TEFCA.

The questions included in this FAQ were collected from the ASTHO Connects session, “TEFCA Overview and Perspectives from the Field” held on April 4, 2024 and follow-on questions from the session, as well as the ONC and CDC’s TEFCA Community of Practice. The questions answered in this document are not exhaustive: this FAQ will be considered a living document with updates made as ASTHO and its partners are able to answer additional questions.

This presentation is a review of the Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement (TEFCA) and its relationship to public health. The recording is a presentation to the Tennessee Informatics Community of Practice.

This document is a companion to Section 1D of the Building Blocks Guide. It describes the steps required for HL7 message definition and provides additional information on the tools and topics discussed in the Guide, including the Implementation Workbook and the Message Validation Template.

Reframing Public Health Informatics is a collection of evidence-based framing recommendations and sample communications designed to help the public health workforce talk about informatics—what it is, how it works, and why its contributions are so important to achieving the goal of improved population health.

This presentation reviews the history of the laboratory orders (LOI) and results (LRI) implementation guides in general, some of the common aspects shared between them and how these standards are used together

This presentation discusses how the laboratory orders (LOI) and results (LRI) implementation guides are written and some of the ways they are different from other v2 standards.

This presentation discusses how the values sets used by the laboratory orders (LOI) and results (LRI) implementation guides are documented.

This presentation describes the use cases encompassed by the laboratory orders (LOI) implementation guide and details some of the unique features of the profiles defined in the standard.

This presentation describes the use case encompassed by the laboratory results (LRI) implementation guide and details some of the unique concepts in the standard including snapshot mode and parent-child linkages

This presentation describes some of the technical constraints included in the profiles used by the laboratory results (LRI) implementation guide.

Resources resulting from a Public Health FHIR Implementation Collaborative workshop include a high-level overview of FHIR, a more in-depth review of the rules, regulations, and policy framework behind interoperability, and a workshop summary.

This presentation provides an overview of the Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement (TEFCA) which has the overall goal to establish a floor of universal interoperability across the country. The Common Agreement will establish the infrastructure model and the governing approach for users in different networks to securely share basic clinical information with each other—all under commonly agreed-to expectations and rules.

Training modules around the Stage 2 Meaningful Use (MU) Rule to train Eligible Professional (EPs) and Critical Access Hospitals (CAHs) on how to implement new standards

In this presentation, we will be introducing the different HL7 product families that are used to exchange clinical data.
