Electronic data exchange improves communication, helps coordinate patient care, reduces medication issues.
California Assembly Bill 133 (AB133) established the California Health and Human Services (CalHHS) Data Exchange Framework (DxF) to oversee the electronic exchange of health and social services information in California.
Action needed from affected providers
Participating entities must sign a data sharing agreement (DSA) by January 31, 2023. These entities include:
- General acute care hospitals.
- Physician organization and medical groups.
- Skilled nursing facilities.
- Clinical laboratories.
- Acute psychiatric hospitals.
Agreement can be accessed online soon
A fillable version of the DSA will be available online soon. Access the CalHHS website for ongoing updates.
