Ken Kleinberg, Innovative Technologies Practice Lead, Point-of-Care Partners (POCP) says TEFCA is only the beginning. There is a lot that must play out first. Some stakeholders will see this as competitive, and possibly a threat. Some will have to determine whether they should become a QHIN or not. They will need to assess the risks and the costs. “The burdens are real, but the benefits are real,” he said. “This idea of a nationwide health information infrastructure has been with us for decades,” Kleinberg says. “We really needed the electronic health records in place first, to build a network. And we've gotten to that point now, over the last years, with the EHR options high enough and interoperability has been there for organizations that had regular exchange with each other,” he said. “So, the real benefit of TEFCA is to widen the ability of organizations to communicate past their regular business partners.”
