The Connecting for Health Common Framework: Resources for Implementing Private and Secure Health Information Exchange

The Common Framework helps health information networks to share information among their members and nationwide while protecting privacy and allowing for local autonomy and innovation. It consists of a set of 17 mutually-reinforcing technical documents and specifications, testing interfaces, code, privacy and security policies, and model contract language. It was developed by experts in information technology, health privacy law, and policy, and has been tested since mid-2005 by Connecting for Health prototype teams in three states: California, Indiana, and Massachusetts.
