CCISDA is hosting a webinar introducing the Data Exchange Framework (DxF), which is a part of California Health and Human Services' Center for Data Insights and Innovation. While the Department of Health Care Services' CalAIM and Behavioral Health Transformation (BHT) initiatives are the drivers for data sharing, the DxF supports the 'rules of the road' for data sharing. DxF consultants will present a recently drafted report on the Capabilities for Health and Social Data Sharing (which includes a general model and county case studies). The intent of the report is to provide 'live' examples which may be helpful to other counties and communities as they seek to more efficiently coordinate care--especially in resource constrained times when building wholly new enterprise architectures may be cost prohibitive. The Data Exchange Framework program is eager to gain a stronger understanding of the County perspective as we seek to support an ecosystem of appropriate data sharing.

Please Note:
This webinar is intended for CCISDA members, county IT professionals, and related county departments only. Participation is limited to government employees.

Vendors and non-government attendees are not permitted to attend.
If you are a vendor or represent a private company, we kindly ask that you refrain from registering or joining the session. Thank you for respecting the purpose and audience of this discussion.
