Cross RHIO Clinical Event Notifications are Live —
What Does it Mean for You?
Last week Healthix and NYCIG began exchanging alerts on patients who are admitted and discharged from an emergency room and inpatient hospital setting. In a 24 hour period, Healthix sent 2,464 alerts to NYCIG, and NYCIG sent 2,297 alerts to Healthix, indicating a high crossover of patients. In 2017, providers will be able to receive notifications across New York State via the SHIN-NY. That means for a child away at college upstate, or a NYC commuter who lives and works in different regions, should they have a medical emergency, their providers can be alerted to their care situation, if they have given consent.
NYCIG is an HIE in the SHIN-NY that connects New York City hospitals, health care centers, nursing homes and home care via NYC Health+Hospitals network (formerly Health and Hospitals Corp.)

This fuller picture of the patient’s medical history can supplement other clinical information to round out the patient’s clinical profile. Claims data is currently available from Amida Care and from 1199SEIU Benefits Fund.
