NYeC News: Vol 73: AUGUST 25, 2016
Patient consent is a critical element of the Statewide Health Information Network for New York (SHIN-NY), and as of July 2016 over 8.8 million New Yorkers have given consent to participating healthcare providers. The SHIN-NY holds records for over 40 million patients, processes over 2.8 million transactions a month, and has over 62,000 users. HealthlinkNY is working to increase that number with their “Just Say ‘YES’”! campaign. HealthlinkNY is the first RHIO in the state to offer patients downloadable consent forms customized for each of their participating providers.
