Your regional health information organization.
Serving the Central, Northern, Southern Tier, and Hudson Valley Regions of New York State.

HealtheConnections is a health information exchange (HIE) accredited by the New York State Department of Health. Through trusted collaboration and valued services, HealtheConnections enables improvement in health and healthcare delivery that results in healthier people, better care, and more efficient costs. UHS is a valued partner to HealtheConnections. 

HIE is the secure flow of patient data among healthcare providers. With a patient’s consent, their care team can easily access their electronic medical records including histories, labs, images, reports, diagnostic tests, visit notes, and other vital information necessary to provide the highest quality care. This level of interoperability is crucial for optimal care coordination, and with HealtheConnections’ services, secure exchange of information is smoother than ever before.

Even if a patient has relatively simple healthcare needs, coordinating information among doctors can be a daunting task. With a patient’s consent, doctors and healthcare providers can share their health information through HealtheConnections’ services allowing each of them access to more accurate and up-to-date information on their patient’s health and treatment. 

This helps your healthcare providers make the best possible decisions, particularly in a crisis. It could reduce the need for repeat tests and procedures, inconvenience of additional doctor visits or potential pain of certain procedures, and money spent on insurance premiums for repeat tests or visits. Click here to view providers in HealtheConnections HIE.
