SB 660: California Health and Human Services Data Exchange Framework.

The bill aims to establish a health data exchange framework in California, requiring the exchange of health information among various entities. The Department of Health Care Access and Information will take over the framework's establishment, implementation, and functions, including data sharing agreements and policies. Entities such as healthcare providers, hospitals, and government agencies must execute data sharing agreements with the framework. The Department will designate qualified health information organizations as data sharing intermediaries, meeting the framework's requirements. A stakeholder advisory group will be expanded to include more representatives and will assist in developing and submitting a report on the framework's compliance with data sharing agreements by 2027.
