The New York Chapter of HIMSS (HIMSSNYS) is conducting our annual HIMSSNYS Western New York Health IT
Symposium on Wednesday June 26,
2013 at Roberts Wesleyan College
located at 2301 Westside Drive in Rochester. Please hold the date! I will be sending a
complimentary registration link as soon as we announce our exciting list of
speakers.
The theme for this year’s event is “Patient Centered Care”. Our members are interested in hearing
more about the New York State Legislative perspective on the vision for
healthcare including initiatives
such as the Accountable Care Act, Meaningful Use and Accountable Care
Organizations. We are estimating
100 members from leading healthcare providers from the Buffalo, Rochester and
Syracuse areas.
We recently conducted our downstate annual conference “Health Information Technology (IT): When
Disaster Strikes” on April 26 in NYC. Our members are actively working to make
Health IT more resilient for the next disaster given the recent natural
disasters of Irene and Sandy.
New York is one of leaders in the country with the use of
Electronic Health Records. Across
the state, healthcare organizations representing the diversity of healthcare
services delivered in a variety of healthcare settings have invested over $2
Billion to date. In February
2009, the Medicare and Medicaid Electronic Health Record Incentive Program was
established as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). Title XIII of ARRA, called the Health Information Technology for Economic
and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act allocated $19.2 Billion toward
the development of healthcare IT.
To date, New York’s eligible hospitals, eligible professionals and
Critical Access Hospitals (CAHs) have received more than $700 Million in
incentive payments for implementation of Electronic Health Records.
