The California Health and Human Services (CalHHS) Data Exchange Framework (DxF) program is first of its kind facilitating a statewide data-sharing agreement that will accelerate and expand the exchange of health information among healthcare entities, government agencies, and social service programs beginning in 2024.

San Diego Health Connect was awarded Qualified Health Information Organization (QHIO) status in October 2023. A QHIO is a Health Information Organization (HIO) that has demonstrated its ability to meet DxF data exchange requirements. The DxF establishes a framework for statewide exchange of health and human service information. Signatories must be able to send and receive transactions, locate a patient record based on demographic data, translate health data to conform with industry-standard terminologies, apply security measures, and more.
