In comments submitted August 24, AMIA submitted comments to ONC regarding the development of a Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement as required by the 21st Century Cures Act. AMIA recommended ONC look to use the Framework to provide a floor upon which existing networks – and new networks – can build. AMIA said harmonization along the key dimensions of (1) data availability and (2) permitted purposes for which data can be exchanged are needed.
