Free Executive Web Briefing Courtesy Of Netsmart
December 10, 2025 at 1:00 PM ET
After more than two decades of groundwork by government agencies and healthcare technology leaders, the vision of true open data sharing is finally possible. The launch of the Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement (TEFCA) and the designation of Qualified Health Information Networks (QHINs) mark a turning point. These standardized hubs now make it possible to connect disparate networks for near real-time access to clinical data across the country.
In this webinar, you’ll gain an understanding of how QHINs are built and regulated, and why the Netsmart QHIN is the first to serve primarily the human services and post-acute communities and is uniquely positioned to lead the way in transforming connectivity across the entire healthcare ecosystem.
Here are the key points that will be covered:
- How TEFCA and QHINs enable nationwide exchange and what changes for community providers.
- Practical use cases for reducing gaps in care, improving referrals, and supporting care coordination.
- Governance, consent, and compliance basics that provider organizations must plan for now.
- How to evaluate vendor claims, timelines, and costs so your team can make informed decisions.
Join presenters Ben Rosen, Senior Client Success Manager and Hannah Barnhart, Client Strategy Executive at Netsmart, for insights that can help shape the future of your organization and its technology.
Don’t miss this opportunity to understand how national interoperability is evolving, and what it means for your organization’s next chapter of connected care.
