#TEFCA will support a seventh exchange purpose in the future: research. This will involve standardized consent and data de-identification among other new functionality, according to Mark Knee of @‌HHS_HealthPolicy at this month's @‌HL7 Da Vinci Community Roundtable

#TEFCA will require the use of the HL7 Security for Scalable Registration, Authentication, and Authorization IG v1.0.0 by Jan 1, 2026 for those using #FHIR, indicates Chris Muir of @‌HHS_HealthPolicy at this month's @‌HL7 Da Vinci Community Roundtable

Reorganization of info from the Common Agreement to individual SOPs supports a future where the Common Agreement doesn't need to change very often while SOPs can change to meet additional needs - Mark Knee, @‌HHS_TechPolicy, this month's @‌HL7 Da Vinci Community Roundtable

It's up to each QHIN to decide if they will allow participants to solely use #TEFCA for #FHIR or require them to perform traditional document-based exchanges over SOAP as a condition of participation - Christopher Muir, @hhs_techpolicy, this month's @‌HL7 Da Vinci Community Roundtable
