- Streamlined Workflow: Secure data exchange eliminates the need for manual data entry, reducing administrative burdens and allowing caregivers to focus on patient care.
MatrixCare: Pioneering TEFCA Integration
The partnership marks a significant milestone, making MatrixCare the first post-acute EHR to leverage Health Gorilla’s federally designated QHIN (Qualified Health Information Network) for TEFCA (Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement) transactions. This enables secure, bi-directional data exchange across a vast network encompassing over 220 million patients, 750,000 clinicians, and 147,000 care sites nationwide.
“We’re thrilled to incorporate an innovative organization like MatrixCare into our QHIN,” said Steve Yaskin, CEO and Co-founder of Health Gorilla. “MatrixCare has a long history of providing cutting-edge solutions to the post-acute and home health markets, and its commitment to enhancing interoperability and improving patient outcomes aligns perfectly with our mission at Health Gorilla. Together, we look forward to revolutionizing how health information is exchanged and accessed, ultimately benefiting patients and providers alike.”
