Data Exchange Framework
QHIO Application Deadline and DSA Signatory Grants Round 3 October Opening
CDII is accepting applications from organizations who currently provide data exchange services to health and social services entities within California that wish to serve as Qualified Health Information Organizations (QHIOs) until 5:00pm PT on September 21, 2023. The QHIO Application 2023, QHIO Application Guide 2023, and past meeting materials are below in the QHIO Application section.
DSA Signatory Grants Round 3 Applications will open October 16, 2023. If your organization has signed the DxF Data Sharing Agreement you are likely eligible to apply for a Technical Assistance grant or a QHIO Onboarding grant. We encourage you to learn about this grant opportunity now, see detailed information is in the DxF Grant Program section under the Data Exchange Framework Details menu within this website below.
What is the Data Exchange Framework?
Every Californian, no matter where we live, should be able to walk into a doctor’s office, a county social service agency, or an emergency room and be assured health and human services providers can access the information they need to provide safe, effective, whole person care—while keeping our data private and secure.
This is the goal of California’s Health and Human Services Data Exchange Framework, a first-ever, statewide data sharing agreement that will accelerate and expand the exchange of health information among health care entities, government agencies, and social service programs beginning in 2024.
The data exchange framework is not a new technology or centralized data repository; instead, it’s an agreement across health and human services systems and providers to share information safely. That means every health care provider can access the information they need to treat you quickly and safely; health care, behavioral health and social services agencies can connect to each other to deliver what Californians need to be healthy; and our public health system can better assess how to address the needs of all communities.
Hundreds of experts and members of the public have spent the last year shaping a framework that delivers on these principles. On this website, learn more about the progress toward seamless data exchange that will improve Californians’ experience of health care, support California’s whole-person care transformation, and put consumers in the drivers’ seat with our health data.
Data Exchange Framework Guiding Principles
To receive updates on the Data Exchange Framework, email CDII@chhs.ca.gov.
In July 2022, CalHHS released the Data Exchange Framework, Data Sharing Agreement, and initial set of Policies and Procedures. Please see the Data Exchange Framework section for more information. View the Executive Summary.
Take Action
The Data Exchange Framework includes a single data sharing agreement and common set of policies and procedures that will govern and require the exchange of health information among health care entities and government entities in California.
The CalHHS Data Sharing Agreement (DSA) Signing Portal is now open for providers and healthcare entities to take the first step for better health information exchange. The DSA is a mandated agreement between hospitals, physician organizations and medical groups, skilled nursing facilities, health plans and disability insurers, clinical laboratories, and acute psychiatric hospitals to share patient information safely.
California Health and Safety code section 130290 requires most providers and healthcare entities to sign the DSA by January 31, 2023.
Take the first step today. Visit the CalHHS Data Sharing Agreement Signing Portal to sign the DSA.

Data Sharing Agreement Policies and Procedures Subcommittee Meeting #1 (9/23/2022, 9:30 am – 12:00 pm)
Timeline
Initial Data Exchange Framework
By July 1, 2022, the state will establish a single Data Sharing Agreement and common set of policies and procedures that will govern and require the exchange of health information among health care entities and government agencies in California. This effort will be guided by a Stakeholder Advisory Group, which will provide information and advice to CalHHS.
Public health/social services integration
CalHHS and the California State Association of Counties will encourage as many county health, public health, and social services providers to connect to the Data Exchange Framework—with all state and local public health agencies exchanging health information in real time with participating health care entities.
Data Sharing Agreement
By January, 31, 2023, the Data Exchange Framework data sharing agreement will be executed by the following entity types: General acute care hospitals, physician organizations and medical groups, skilled nursing facilities, health service plans and disability insurers, Medi-Cal managed care plans, clinical laboratories, and acute psychiatric hospitals.
- CalHHS Data Sharing Agreement Signing Portal
- DxF Single Data Sharing Agreement_Final_7.1.22 (updated Nov 2022)
- Data Sharing Agreement Signatory List
Full implementation
On or before January 31, 2024, most required signatories of the DSA shall exchange health information or provide access to health information as specified by CalHHS’s Data Sharing Agreement for treatment, payment, or health care operations.
Data Exchange Framework Details
Background
On July 5, 2022, CalHHS released the Data Exchange Framework, Data Sharing Agreement, and initial set of Policies and Procedures. Documents can be found in the respective tabs of this section. More information for signatories of the Data Sharing Agreement, including information on agreement execution, will be available on this webpage later this year (2022).
Context
While parts of California’s health care system rely on coordinated, interoperable electronic systems, other parts rely on decentralized, manual, and siloed systems of clinical and administrative data exchange that is voluntary in many situations. This voluntary patchwork imposes burdens on providers and patients, limits the health care ecosystem from making material advances in equity and quality, and functionally inhibits patient access to personalized, longitudinal health records. Further, a lack of clear policies and requirements to share data between payers, providers, hospitals, and public health systems is a significant hindrance to addressing public health crises, as demonstrated by challenges inherent to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Despite the widespread availability of secure electronic data transfer, a small but important minority of Californians’ medical information is stored or shared on paper. When that medical information is shared between providers, much of it happens by mail, fax, or, most likely, by the patients themselves, who frequently carry their records from appointment to appointment. While electronic health information exchange cannot replace provider-patient communication, it can greatly improve the completeness of patient records, which has a significant effect on health and wellness outcomes, as past history, current medications, and other information are jointly reviewed during appointments.
Social and economic factors distinct from medical care are powerful predictors of health outcomes and disease burden throughout a person’s life. From a population health perspective, this means that evidence-based policies that affect the broader conditions in which people are born, grow, and live can exert a powerful influence on health and well-being. From an operational perspective, data-driven efforts to better coordinate human and social supports with the medical and health care sectors provide opportunities to deliver services that are more client centered, efficient, effective, and tailored.

DxF Grants Program
The Data Exchange Framework (DxF) Grant Program launched in October 2022 to help health and social services providers and other health care entities understand and implement DxF requirements. There are two core grant opportunities to address areas where resources are required to support broad DxF implementation: the DSA Signatory Grants and the DxF Educational Initiative Grant Programs.
DSA Signatory Grants
CDII has allocated up to $47 million for DSA Signatory Grants that provide support to DSA Signatories to subsidize their efforts to implement the DxF. The program includes two grant options for Signatories: QHIO Onboarding Grants and Technical Assistance (TA) Grants. Download the DSA Signatory Grants Application Guidance Document to learn more.
The DxF Grant Portal is now accepting Round 2 applications for the DSA Signatory Grant.
- Understand the DSA Signatory Grant opportunity: Read the DSA Signatory Grant Guidance Document for detailed information on eligibility, funding parameters, and the application process.
- Get started on the application:
CDII has designated Public Consulting Group LLC (PCG) as the third-party administrator (TPA) to administer DSA Signatory Grants and the GrantsConnect portal. PCG is acting solely as a TPA on behalf of CDII and is not liable or responsible for CDII decisions, payment delays, or actions.
APPLICATION: For detailed information on the application, read the DSA Signatory Application Template that details all content in the DxF Grant Portal application.
- For TA Grant Applications: Begin your application in the DxF Grant Portal, hosted on Public Consulting Group’s GrantsConnect portal. Contact DSAGrants@pcgus.com or call (866)698-6525 with any portal questions or questions about the TA grant application.
- For QHIO Onboarding Grant Applications: Email grantsupport@cahie.org to begin the application process today. Applicants in this domain must work with the California Association of Health Information Exchanges, CAHIE, to complete their application and should not start an application on the grant portal.
APPLICATION DEADLINE: Round 2 applications are due Friday, September 1, 2023, by 11:59pm PT. DSA Signatories who demonstrate a HIT need, in order to meet DxF requirements, may submit an application in Rounds 2 or 3 regardless as to whether they are required or voluntary signatories to the DSA.
Requests for DSA Signatory Grant funding must be submitted through the DxF Grant Portal, hosted on PCG’s GrantsConnect portal, during the open application windows starting in May 2023. All applications submitted will be reviewed by CDII.
DxF Educational Initiative Grant Program
In December 2022, CDII selected eight associations to provide education and outreach about the DxF across the state throughout 2023. The list of grantees and their contact information can be found in the DxF FAQ document, question 16.
