Oracle's decision to join TEFCA is also a response to the industry's growing recognition of the importance of data sharing. The network's ultimate goal is to standardize the legal and technical requirements for sharing patients' data, making it easier for doctors and other providers to access relevant patient information. The seven QHINs currently participating in TEFCA, including Epic, will need to undergo a two-step approval process to ensure they meet the necessary technical and legal requirements. Oracle has announced its intention to begin this process, and its approval is expected to bolster the network's credibility and further its goals.
