CHILDREN'S HEALTH~(sm) OF Dallas (Children's Health) is the leading pediatric health system in north Texas and the eighth-largest pediatric healthcare provider in the nation. In the fall of 2012, Children's Health began to exchange data electronically with the Social Security Administration (SSA) using the Sequoia Project's eHealth Exchange. The eHealth Exchange is a network of federal agencies and private and public healthcare organizations in which exchange partners securely share clinical information using a standardized interoperability approach. The commitment to vendor-neutral standards for interoperability was a significant factor in Children's Health's decision to exchange data using the eHealth Exchange. This partnership with the SSA has shown great benefits (see Table 1 on page 39 for further details on these benefits).
