Set Up an OHIN or TEFCA and QHIN Connection

This topic provides the steps for setting up a connection between your organization and OHIN.

OHIN can facilitate information exchange between your organization and other provider organizations that participate in OHIN or providers outside of OHIN if your organization is authorized to use OHIN as your QHIN.

To set up a connection with OHIN, access Oracle Health Information Network from the Oracle Health Connection Hub window, select the Oracle Health Information Network checkbox, and then select Apply.

To set up a connection with QHIN:

1. Access Oracle Health Information Network from the Oracle Health Connection Hub window.
2. Ensure that the Oracle Health Information Network checkbox is selected.
3. Select Connection Management.
4. Select the ellipsis button (...), and then select Set up TEFCA.

   Note:

   If your organization operates multiple Oracle Health Foundation EHR domains, you can select and set up connections between each domain and OHIN or QHIN.
5. In the Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement (TEFCA) section, enter the appropriate email address in the Provider Contact Email Address box. This email is used by Oracle only in scenarios where Oracle must contact your organization to clarify information that was submitted in the form.

   Note:

   If one or more connections were previously established before your organization integrated the Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement (TEFCA) framework and enabled the TEFCA service, you must manually update all preexisting connections by selecting the ellipsis button (...), selecting Manage Connection, and then entering all required TEFCA information.
6. Under Participant Details, complete the following steps:
   1. In the Healthcare Name for Directory box, enter a name.
   2. Based on whether your organization is a healthcare provider, select the Yes option or the No option.
   3. In the Corporate Address box, enter a corporate address.
   4. From the Type of Patient Interaction list, select an item.
   5. Select the Virtual checkbox, the Mobile checkbox, or the Patient's Home checkbox.
   6. Optionally, in the Site of Care Address box, enter the appropriate information.
   7. From the Type of Healthcare Provider list, select a type.
   8. From the Type of Health Plan Coverage list, select a type.
   9. In the NPI box, enter a National Provider Identifier (NPI).
   10. In the Link to Listing box, enter a link to your directory listing for Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) or a state provider directory.
7. Under Child Covered Entities, enter a name in the Enter Child Covered Entity Name as needed, then select Add Item.
