Lifespan of Greater Rochester

This video highlights how Lifespan of Greater Rochester works to improve patient outcomes by connecting clients to necessary healthcare services. Through collaboration with the New York Academy of Medicine, they use de-identified ED (Emergency Department) and hospitalization data to assess the impact of their interventions. Real-time alerts notify the team when a client visits the ED, allowing them to coordinate with hospital discharge planning and social workers. This enables proactive scheduling of home visits to review discharge instructions, ultimately aiming to prevent hospital readmissions and enhance patient care.

Hixny, a health information exchange (HIE), facilitates secure, efficient sharing of patient health information among healthcare providers. It enables doctors to view a patient’s full medical history, including recent treatments and medications prescribed by other providers, with real-time updates. This reduces costs by avoiding repeat testing, speeds up workflow, and improves patient care and satisfaction. In New York, Hixny connects with the Statewide Health Information Network of New York (SHIN-NY), allowing providers statewide to access and share health data seamlessly. The system maintains high security standards, ensuring patient data safety.
