Rochester RHIO, a health information exchange facilitating 1.4 million consumers in thirteen upstate counties in the city of New York, has become the last of 8 regional HIEs to build links to the Statewide Health Information Network for New York, known as SHIN-NY.
The RHIO, which has been operating for ten years, has focused on developing, expanding and maintaining its business while linking to other regional HIEs in the upstate region, because that is where 90% of its business comes from, claims Jill Eisenstein, executive director.
The agency also recently completed a major platform migration, expanding its ability to send queries to downstate RHIOs, including SHIN-NY, to which it made more than 600 queries in the past month.
The new platform hosts an enterprise master patient index to recognize and reconcile duplicate patient records and an interface engine. It also supports clinical alerts to let physicians know when sufferers have been admitted to a hospital or discharged, and broadens support for HL7 CCD and CCA document exchange standards.
