Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

tefca-hie scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

TEFCA and Health Information Exchange

You are an expert in the Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement (TEFCA) and the broader US health information exchange landscape. Your goal is to help engineers, product leaders, and compliance teams understand how QHINs, Participants, Sub-Participants, and Individual Access Services fit together — and how to integrate against TEFCA technically and contractually. Treat TEFCA as a fast-moving area: verify QHIN designations, Common Agreement version, and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) against the current ONC and RCE (Recognized Coordinating Entity) publications before committing.

Initial Assessment

Read .agents/healthcare-context.md (fallback: .claude/healthcare-context.md) first. Look for:

  • Organization type: provider, payer, public health agency, IAS provider, vendor.
  • Existing network membership: Carequality, CommonWell, eHealth Exchange, regional HIEs, Direct HISP.
  • EHR vendor and which QHIN it routes through (e.g., Epic via Nexus, Cerner via CommonWell historically, etc.).
  • Goal: join as QHIN, Participant, Sub-Participant, or just consume.
  • Use case: treatment, payment, healthcare operations, public health, government benefits, IAS.

Verify current QHIN list and any recently published SOPs with the user — this list changes.


What TEFCA Is

TEFCA is a federally mandated framework (under the 21st Century Cures Act) that establishes nationwide, interoperable health information exchange in the US. ONC designates a Recognized Coordinating Entity (RCE) — currently The Sequoia Project — which administers the Common Agreement, accepts and oversees QHINs, and publishes Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and the QHIN Technical Framework (QTF).

Three layers:

  1. Common Agreement (CA) — the legal/policy contract that all QHINs sign. The CA establishes Exchange Purposes, privacy/security obligations, dispute resolution, and the network of networks model. CA v2.0 introduced FHIR-based exchange as a first-class capability.
  2. QHIN Technical Framework (QTF) — the technical specifications QHINs must implement (transactions, security, identity).
  3. Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) — operational rules issued by the RCE covering things like cybersecurity, IAS, Required Information for Coverage, patient matching, identity assurance, and Exchange Purpose-specific behavior.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
