SHIN-NY 2.0: Strategy Explained
Video Available Now, at the NYeC Website
During the NYeC 2011 Digital Health Conference last month, David Whitlinger, NYeC Executive Director, addressed a packed room of healthcare and IT professionals to explain the new developments in the SHIN-NY. In the discussion (which can be viewed at the NYeC website) Whitlinger outlines how far we have come with health information exchange in New York, and the strategy behind where we are going. The SHIN-NY 2.0, he explains, will be a network of networks, establishing statewide capabilities. Through standardization and innovation, the SHIN-NY will move away from a community-based network to one that includes the entire State of New York.
American Hospital Association Comments on Draft Requirements for eMeasure Review and Testing
"Automated quality reporting has clear potential benefits, including greater efficiency in producing data, real-time results and the potential to include whole populations in measure calculations, as well as the ability to easily look at sub-groups. AHA strongly supports the move toward automated quality reporting to ease burden and provide real-time information. To be useable, however, automated quality measurement must be feasible, generate valid and reliable results and have benefits that outweigh the costs."
