In a new SHIN-NY collaboration,ย Hixny hasย madeย itย easyย forย providersย acrossย theย state
toย screenย patients forย HRSNย andย queryย theย state’sย controlledย substanceย database.
ALBANY, N.Y., April 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Hixny, New York’s cutting-edge health information exchange (HIE), announced today that every provider in New York State has access to the limited view of their patient snapshot tool. The result of a collaboration among partners in the Statewide Health Information Network for New York (SHIN-NY), providers can request the tool directly from the quali๏ฌedย entity (QE) with whomย they partner.
Sinceย 2020,ย Hixny’sย patient recordย snapshotย hasย deliveredย insights andย dataย points toย connected healthcare providers in an easy-to-navigate format, surfacing critical and actionable information within existingย work๏ฌows. In the past year, Hixny has introduced new capabilities, including direct access to the state’s Prescription Monitoring Program query tool (formerly I-STOP) and a health-related social needs (HRSN) screening tool that meets all the requirements of the state’s 1115 Medicaid waiver amendment. It’s these recently added services that are now available to providers across the state.
“Theย healthcare providersย inย ourย focusย groupsย haveย beenย adamantย thatย easier accessย toย necessary tools within existing work๏ฌows is what they’re looking for,” said Mark McKinney, Hixny’s CEO. “This limited viewย o๏ฌersย thatย exactly.”
Using SMART on FHIR technology, the limited view snapshot application is available directly within electronic health records (EHR) systems. When launched, the provider will see basic demographic information on the patient whose record they’re viewing, the option to begin a social needs screening with the patient, or the ability to search the patient’s controlled substance prescription history.
The toolย is availableย at no costย to providers or QEs, through collaborationย with New York eHealth Collaborative (NYeC), the State Designated Entity named by the New York State Department of Health toย provideย leadership andย oversightย toย theย SHIN-NY.
“Oneย ofย ourย prioritiesย isย toย enable collaborationย toย improve patientย outcomes,”ย Davidย Horrocks,ย NYeC’s CEO, explained, “and Hixny created a tool that can seamlessly help achieve that. It was a no-brainerย to join forces and ensure every healthcare provider in New York has access.”
Healthcareย providers whoย areย interestedย inย seeingย howย Hixny’s limited view can be integrated with their EHRย system are encouraged to reach out to theirย QE.
