Allowing patients to view their electronic health records during hospital stays does not drastically increase nurses’ and physicians’ workloads, according to a University of Colorado study published on March 9th, 2015 in JAMA Internal Medicine, Reuters reports. To assess what patients might learn while viewing their EHRs during hospitals stays, University of Colorado assistant professor Jonathan Pell and his team provided tablet computers to 50 individuals who knew how to use the Internet.
The use of health information exchanges can reduce the odds that a patient will undergo unnecessary repeat imaging by up to 25%, according to a recent study published in the American Journal of Managed Care, Clinical Innovation & Technology. Researchers focused on a cohort of 196,314 patients in 11 New York counties, using claims data from two major insurance plans as well as information drawn from the Rochester Regional Health Information Organization (Rochester RHIO) to discover how HIE-connected providers ordered imaging compared to non-connected peers.
New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo’s proposed budget proposal includes $45M funding for the Statewide Health Information Network of New York (the SHIN-NY). The funding will support the building of the innovative, public network in New York designed to give doctors and patients instant access to their health records when they need them. The State Legislature will vote to finalize the budget by April 1, 2015.
For all of us working to make the SHIN-NY a reality, 2014 has truly been a year of which we can all be proud. In addition to seeing the growth of the network, the SHIN-NY accomplished two critical goals that put us on a path to interconnecting New York State’s nine Qualified Entities (QEs).
