Statewide Health Information Network for New York (SHIN-NY)

SHIN-NY is the bedrock component of the State’s technical infrastructure and will allow clinicians and consumers to make timely, fact-based decisions that will reduce medical errors and redundant tests and improve care coordination and the quality of care. The SHIN-NY will utilize the internet and include specialized software protocols and services, including security tools, and will be a part of the emerging Nationwide Health Information Network (NHIN).
