Overview

Mission

To advance interoperable health information technology to improve the quality and safety of health care and reduce costs. To advance, develop and operate a health information infrastructure based on a community-driven model open to participation by all health care providers facilitating the exchange of patient health information among disparate clinicians, other authorized entities, and patients in real time while ensuring security and privacy concerns. To facilitate the exchange of clinical information among Health Information Users so that clinicians have access to the information necessary to guide clinical decision and care coordination. To promote a system where information follows the health care consumer so they are at the center of their care. To engage in the Statewide Health Information Network of NY (SHIN-NY) to create the ability to share data across the continuum of care resulting in higher quality and better health outcomes in a more cost-effective environment for patient

What it reported doing in 2019

Health Information Exchange: The primary service provided by Interboro RHIO to our participants is the governance and management of a Health Information Exchange (HIE). The HIE enables health care providers to electronically access and use clinical information, compiled from various sources, about their patients' health as they make treatment decisions.Inter-operable Health Information Technology: Recognizing that the benefits of electronic health information exchange will not be realized unless a critical mass of health care providers participate, Interboro RHIO is working with the NYS Department of Health and the New York eHealth Collaborative (NYeC) to facilitate HIE on a broader scale across our community. Interboro continues to expand participation and has connected to the Statewide Health Information Network in New York (SHIN-NY) to facilitate the sharing of information across providers and RHIOs in NY State.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 100% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
