NYCLIX
NYCLIX Inc. (which stands for the New York Clinical Information Exchange) is the Regional Health Information Organization (RHIO) that serves the millions of people who are in New York City on a daily basis. It is a secure electronic health information exchange available to authorized hospitals, physicians and nurses in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Staten Island.
The exchange allows a medical care team to share records across institutions and practices, making patient information available wherever and whenever needed to provide the best care. Patients benefit from fewer repeated tests, easier second opinions, a reduced risk of mistakes caused by poor handwriting or incomplete records, and more informed care during emergencies.
NYCLIX is part of a nationwide effort to improve our health care system. In collaboration with nearly all of the premier academic medical centers in New York City and the New York City and State Departments of Health, we are working to improve how health care is delivered.
