On Monday, February 13, United States Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) Xavier Becerra and National Coordinator for Health IT Micky Tripathi recognized the below organizations for their willingness to voluntarily step up and meet the demanding eligibility requirements, terms, and conditions of TEFCA participation.

These organizations are the first set of candidate Qualified Health Information Networks (QHINs) that were accepted to move forward with the testing and onboarding process under TEFCA. Following this approval, these candidate QHINs committed to meeting a 12-month go-live timeline and, if successful, will be designated as QHINs.
