Surescripts is in the process of being designated a Qualified Health Information Network under the Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement (TEFCA), according to the company’s director of product marketing Terry Douglas.

Surescripts will be designated by the Office of the National Coordinator to be a hub of data exchange. It will serve as a broker of sorts between providers, payers, pharmaceutical companies and others, to move forward the ONC’s goal of interoperability.
