Background
The DSA ensures that Californians, as well as the health and human service and governmental entities who serve them, can access information needed to provide safe and effective care regardless of their location in the state.
The CalAIM Data Sharing Authorization Guidance published by DHCS supports data sharing between:
- Managed care plans (MCPs).
- Health care providers.
- Community-based social and human service providers.
- Local health jurisdictions.
- County and other public agencies that provide services and manage care under CalAIM.
Read the full guidance on the DHCS website.
The DxF advances health equity for all Californians by facilitating the secure and appropriate exchange of health and social services information. The DxF will address areas including but not limited to:
- Health information creation, including the use of national standards in clinical documentation, health plan records and social services data.
- Translation, mapping, controlled vocabularies, coding and data classification.
- Storage, maintenance and management of health information.
- Linking, sharing, exchanging and providing access to health information.
