Jun 22

June 2022

In July 2021, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed into law AB 133, which calls for the development and implementation of a statewide Health and Human Services Data Exchange Framework — consisting of a data sharing agreement, policies, and procedures — to govern the exchange of health information among health care entities and government agencies by January 31, 2024.

Prepared for the California Health Care Foundation, Closing the Gap in California’s Health Data Exchange: Necessary Investments and Funding Opportunities outlines the technological capacity and funding needs of delivery system providers who must comply with AB 133. The paper also outlines federal funding streams, as well as anticipated remaining funding needs that will require targeted investments to close the gap in data exchange capabilities.
