This webinar presentation provided an overview of the NYeC Patient Portal Challenge. The challenge asks developers to create prototypes that showcase how patients can access health information through a statewide exchange. The presentation covered NYeC and the vision, challenge goals and timeline, requirements, use cases, judging process, and evaluation criteria. Attendees included representatives from NYeC and Health 2.0 who were available to answer questions.

4. NY eHealth (NYeC) Overview
NYeC is a not-for-profit organization, working to improve healthcare
for all New Yorkers through health information technology.
Promote the adoption and use of electronic health records (EHRs)
• Educate the public on the benefits of EHRs
• Assist providers transitioning from paper to electronic records
Build the SHIN-NY (Statewide Health Information Network of New York):
A secure network for sharing clinical patient data across the state
• Allow providers to share information
• Promote collaborative care so doctors work as a team to benefit the patient
Develop statewide policies regarding health IT
• Convene stakeholders and build consensus
• Collaborate with NYS Department of Health

5. The Vision
The healthcare system needs health IT tools to enable broad
collaboration between patients, providers, public health
officials, and payers. This will improve the quality of care,
provide the necessary system efficiencies, and increase
individual satisfaction.
No single entity can deliver this set of tools.
It will take an ecosystem working together.
YOU can be a part of that ecosystem

6. The Portal Challenge
NYeC is looking for developers and designers to create
innovative prototypes that showcase the information that can
be made available to patients accessing the statewide health
information exchange.
Timeline
• Application Deadline: April 11, 2013
• Public Voting Period: April 11 – 21, 2013
• NYC Demo Day: April 30, 2013 (TENT)
• Upstate Demo Day: May 2, 2013 (TENT)
• Winners Announced: May 6, 2013

7. The Requirements
Challenge participants will develop prototypes using
Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) provided by NYeC
that cover three main areas of functionality:
• Consent Management: the ability for a patient to provide or deny
consent for a provider to access their information through the
health information exchange
• Audit Access: the ability for a patient to view of a list of who has
viewed their information through the health information exchange
• Record Access: the ability for a patient to access their shared
health records in a single location with information provided in a
meaningful manner
7

8. Use Case 1: Login
• A 37-year-old female has heard about the Patient Portal for
New Yorkers and has been given a user name and password
to access the site.
• Using her credentials she logs into the system and is able to
gain access to her individual information in a user-friendly
way that also feels secure.
8

9. Use Case 2: Consent
• The 37-year-old female patient lives in Brooklyn, NY.
• She has been to several facilities over the past year and knows
that she has signed consent forms for some of them to access her
information through the health information exchange but can’t
specifically remember which providers she has given access to.
• Using the portal, she looks at the list of facilities that she has
explicitly given and denied consent to within the system. She
notices on the list that there is a facility that she had given consent
to about a year ago but no longer uses.
• She modifies the consent state for that facility so that the provider
no longer has access to her records.
9

10. Use Case 3: Audit
• The 37-year-old female wants to make sure that the facility
who she denied consent to earlier has not been able to
access her records since she denied consent.
• Via the portal, she looks at her audit log and sees that there
has been no access from that facility since her last
appointment.
10

11. Use Case 4: Record Access
• The 37-year-old female has several chronic conditions and is
interested in viewing all of her information in one place
including her conditions, medications, and lab results as well
as other available information.
• The information is shown to her in a way that is informative
and meaningful to her and provides her with enough
information to understand what she is looking at.
