Oracle Health has formally submitted its application and is now an applicant Qualified Health Information Network® (QHIN™) as a part of the Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement™ (TEFCA™).

“If designated, becoming a QHIN will help us enable providers, public health officials, patients, and payers to securely access data that can help improve care delivery, deliver insight into community health, and accelerate authorizations and reimbursements,” said Seema Verma, executive vice president and general manager, Oracle Health and Life Sciences. “This builds on our long-standing leadership in driving interoperability to increase industry-wide efficiency and to help ensure patients retain control over their own data.”

Built on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), Oracle Health’s network will not only take advantage of Oracle’s decades of experience in securing the world’s most important data but is also expected to make sharing that data faster and more efficient by reducing the need for extra technology layers that can complicate and slow down the process. Furthermore, Oracle’s network is being designed to support data types that are not typically available in other exchanges, such as X-rays and MRIs. Accelerating data exchange and securely expanding the variety and volume of data available across the healthcare ecosystem is increasingly important to fuel advanced AI capabilities that can help inform care decisions, optimize treatment paths, and streamline payment processes.

If designated, Oracle Health customers will be able to participate in the U.S. government endorsed nationwide approach to offer secure, smooth, and standardized sharing of health information between providers and payers, and government agencies.
