Federal Health Architecture Line of Business

Overview
The Federal Health Architecture (FHA) is a partnership among federal agencies, the Office of Management Budget (OMB) and managed by the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC-HIT). The Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) acting as the Managing Partner, along with the Department of Defense (DOD) and the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) acting as Lead Partners, provides funding for the program. These agencies collaborate to advance health information interoperability between Federal agencies, and between agencies and the tribal, state, local and private sectors.

Through the FHA program, Federal agencies have joined together to rapidly and efficiently coordinate government-wide solutions for interoperable and secure health information exchange that address agency business priorities, while protecting citizen privacy.
