The document discusses how health data sharing in New York has led to improved health outcomes. Emergency department admissions fell by 30% when health information was exchanged during emergency department visits in Rochester. New York leads in health care technology through the Statewide Health Information Network of New York (SHIN-NY) and 11 Regional Health Information Organizations that serve as hubs for sharing health information among providers. An All-Payer Database will allow consumers to compare costs, quality and efficiency of different health care services. The New York State Department of Health is also designing solutions for public use of health data and hosting challenges to encourage connections between data and community health.
