Redox now supports TEFCA participation through a direct onramp to CommonWell, making it faster and easier for customers to connect to the evolving national exchange network.
In this blog post we’ll explore why TEFCA is gaining momentum and how Redox helps organizations connect without the complexity.
What is TEFCA?
Today, the future of healthcare data exchange is being shaped by TEFCA, the Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement.
TEFCA, backed by the Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT (ONC), is an evolving nationwide network that builds on lessons learned from prior exchange networks, providing a unified, scalable infrastructure that enables nationwide exchange across payers, providers, public health agencies, and beyond. It expands the scope of permissible data exchange beyond treatment to include payment, operations, benefits determination, public health, and more. With Epic and other major EHR vendors already pushing adoption, TEFCA is quickly becoming the new baseline for healthcare connectivity.
TEFCA includes a series of QHINs (Qualified Health Information Network) which connect various healthcare entities like health information exchanges (HIEs), health systems, and payers, enabling them to share data seamlessly.
Why TEFCA Now
With TEFCA, healthcare is entering a new era of interoperability, one where seamless, secure, and standards-based clinical data exchange is no longer optional.
And readiness matters. Delaying participation could leave organizations scrambling as regulatory and partner expectations shift. And while TEFCA promises universal access, it’s not a plug-and-play solution; it still requires infrastructure, integration logic, and ongoing maintenance to make it work at scale.
That’s where Redox comes in.
Why Choose Redox for TEFCA Connectivity
At Redox, we’ve spent over a decade helping healthcare organizations simplify interoperability. We believe TEFCA access should be powerful, not painful.
Redox offers a single platform that connects you to legacy networks like CommonWell and Carequality, supports TEFCA, and enables direct integrations. That means you don’t need multiple vendors to manage network connections and point-to-point data exchange. With Redox, you gain one unified integration layer to meet your current and future interoperability needs.
And we go beyond just providing access. As your long-term integration partner, we help you not only pull the data you need but route it exactly where it needs to go: your EHR, data store, platform, app, or decision support tool. You stay in control, while Redox handles the complexity behind the scenes.
With Redox, you get:
- A direct onramp to TEFCA via CommonWell (with support for additional QHINs on the horizon)
- Rapid onboarding: Go live with a QHIN connection, including document management and, if required, your own eMPI solution, in days, not months.
- Dual-network support: Operate TEFCA alongside existing networks like Carequality, CommonWell, and DirectTrust with no disruption to current workflows.
- Seamless adaptability: Participate in multiple networks or switch between them as your strategy evolves, without rework.
- Real-time enablement: Write data back to the EHR, unlocking workflows that TEFCA alone doesn’t support (like scheduling, ordering, and results routing).
- Streamlined maintenance: Redox handles everything from service discovery to caching and metadata tracking, so you don’t have to.
- Expert support: Our team of integration experts provides technical guidance, support, and compliance insight every step of the way.
TEFCA represents a major step forward in unifying healthcare data exchange, but it’s only one part of the picture. As healthcare organizations navigate a growing mix of networks, standards, and integration demands, having the right partner matters more than ever.
Whether you’re ready to onboard to TEFCA, maintain legacy network connections, or build custom integrations, Redox gives you the tools to move forward with confidence.
