Overview

Mission

The mission is to establish a statewide network for trusted exchange of health data among California's health information. Cahie has developed a working California version of the data use and reciprocal support agreement (caldursa) based on the national dursa and adhering to national standards. Cahie will use the ehealth exchange policy framework to guide cahie's policies and procedures for achieving trusted exchange.

What it reported doing in 2025

The California association of health information exchanges (cahie) is focused on facilitating and promoting the secure sharing of health information throughout California. Cahie operates a framework for sharing information statewide through voluntary self-governance and supports member collaboration in exploring best practices and new technologies that make data sharing more efficient and effective. During 2025, cahie has paused its operations and is in the process of restructuring.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 90% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of total spending goes to programs and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
