Overview
This bill establishes the California Health and Human Services Data Exchange Framework, aiming to improve healthcare outcomes by facilitating the secure exchange of health information among various entities like hospitals, insurers, and government agencies. It requires the Department of Health Care Access and Information to take over the framework’s administration and expand the number of required data-sharing participants. The bill also mandates the creation of a process for designating qualified health information organizations to act as intermediaries in this data exchange.
Key provisions
- The Department of Health Care Access and Information will oversee and administer the California Health and Human Services Data Exchange Framework.
