SHIN-NY Governance
SHIN-NY Governance
The SHIN-NY is governed by an open and transparent process that brings together key stakeholders in the State to contribute input and expertise on the development and implementation of SHIN-NY policy and technical standards.
This process is known as the Statewide Collaboration Process. NYeC, in partnership with the NYS DOH, convenes several Committees that are representative of stakeholders with an interest and investment in health information exchange via the SHIN-NY.
The SHIN-NY Policy Committee is comprised of individuals from across the state with expertise in policy: public officials, healthcare providers, attorneys, public advocates, QEs, hospital leadership, and other policy specialists.
The Committee meets regularly and is guided by an Annual Policy Agenda. Public Comment on key policy issues is sought by the Policy Committee as needed.
