Health Data Exchange in CA: Paving a Path to Better, Affordable Care

Join CHCF on Thursday, August 14, 2025, for a critical policy briefing on how California can unlock the full potential of health data exchange to deliver better, more affordable care for all residents.

California has made major investments in health initiatives to improve quality and reduce costs. But without robust health data exchange, these efforts fall short. When health information remains siloed, patients lose access to coordinated care, and the health system cannot fully realize cost savings and quality improvements.
