165.854 Fair and Free Access to Data from Multiple RHIOs
The Medical Society of the State of New York (MSSNY) will work with the New York eHealth Collaborative (NYeC) and the New York State Department of Health (DOH) to ensure that any physician who subscribes to one RHIO be given the option of participating in any other RHIO’s for no additional fees, whether from the RHIO’s themselves or from EMR portals.
MSSNY will also request that the NYeC and the DOH negotiate for cross-subscription agreements with the RHIOs of neighboring states and advocate for similar agreements within the Nationwide Health Information Network so that patients near the borders of New York also have fair access to the advantages of RHIOs.
MSSNY will make a request to the Health Commissioner to implement regulations that would fund RHIO connections through EMRs without fees to providers for participation. (HOD 2012-103; Reaffirmed HOD 2022
