Cozeva Empowers California Healthcare Organizations as a Qualified Health Information Organization (QHIO) to Navigate Data Exchange Framework (DxF)

SAN FRANCISCO, November 17, 2023 (Newswire.com) - Cozeva, a pioneer in healthcare technology, announces its official designation as a Qualified Health Information Organization (QHIO) by the California Health and Human Services (CalHHS). This remarkable achievement signifies Cozeva's pivotal role in advancing healthcare interoperability and facilitating secure data exchange among healthcare entities, government agencies, and social service programs.

The California healthcare landscape is undergoing a transformation, driven by the Data Exchange Framework (DxF) set forth by CalHHS. DxF is the linchpin of California's ambitious healthcare plans, aiming to enhance healthcare delivery, expand coverage, and bolster connections between healthcare and social services. Scheduled to take effect in January 2024, the DxF mandates healthcare organizations to:

1. Sign Data Sharing Agreements (DSA) if not previously completed by January 31, 2023.

2. Implement DSA requirements by January 31, 2024, actively exchanging health information.

3. Adhere to governing policies and procedures through Health Information Exchanges (HIE) and technology solutions, or leverage QHIOs to meet compliance standards.

The California organizations obligated to comply by January 31, 2024, include Health Plans, Physician Organizations, IPAs, Medical Groups, Skilled Nursing Facilities & Clinical Laboratories, and General Acute Care Hospitals & Acute Psychiatric Hospitals. Practices with fewer than 25 physicians, such as solo practices, must comply by January 31, 2026.

CalHHS is funding a $47 million grant program to support organizations in implementing their data-sharing solutions, with grants up to $50,000 per organization. The third and final round of grant applications is open, with a final deadline of December 15, 2023. Cozeva encourages all of its customers to seize this opportunity and apply for these grants.

Cozeva’s CareExchange is an innovative beta designed to support California organizations who select Cozeva as their QHIO, fulfilling their DSA obligations seamlessly and facilitating timely data exchange to drive quality outcomes, improve patient care, and deliver compliance reporting.
