Data Exchange Framework

CBHA is supporting the California Data Exchange Framework Data Sharing Agreement (DxF DSA). We appreciate your expressed interest in signing on to ensure that patient data can be accessed by every healthcare and behavioral health professional when Californians seek care. We know that quality of care is partly dependent on the availability and accessibility of patient records and data, so the DxF DSA aims to accelerate and facilitate that exchange of health information.

This framework is the first-ever, statewide data-sharing agreement that will transform how care is delivered among different entities. If we take a step back to consider what actions we can take to help improve the delivery of whole-person care, fostering collaboration among interdisciplinary teams is key.

Health and social services providers are joining the DxF in a shared commitment to providing safe, effective, whole-person care and creating a Healthy California for All. Providers are agreeing to new rules of the road for securely and appropriately exchanging information and implementing data exchange technology to better serve patients throughout California.

Additionally, DxF signatories will be eligible to apply for the $47 million DSA Signatory Grant Program which will assist organizations with funding activities that meet the DSA requirements—there are two types. The first is the Technical Assistance (TA) Grant which is a flexible pathway for signatories to identify the resources they need to achieve their outcomes. The second is a Qualified Health Information Organization (QHIO) Grant which is an assisted pathway for signatories to achieve their outcomes.

We would like to applaud the following members for signing the Data Sharing Agreement and demonstrating their commitment to secure data exchange! We are also thrilled to see community-based organizations be selected as recipients of the DSA Signatory Grant.
