ONC’s December announcement noted that five organizations have been officially designated as QHINs after undergoing a rigorous onboarding process: MedAllies, eHealth Exchange, Epic Nexus, Health Gorilla, and KONZA. As a result of the designation, these QHINs can begin supporting healthcare data exchange under TEFCA’s technical requirements and policies. These five QHINs, as well as two QHIN candidates working through the implementation process, operate networks that cover most U.S. hospitals and tens of thousands of providers and process billions of annual transactions across all 50 states, ONC stated.
