Our office is proud to announce that we have completed integrating our electronic medical records system with HixNY, the health information exchange of NY. After a one time consent, this integration will allow patients to share their information automatically to other physicians involved in their care. To learn more about HixNY, please see the video on our Education page, or visit https://www.hixny.org/

“Integrating medical records and sharing data automatically improves the ability for other physicians involved in the patient’s care to make more immediate medical decisions” writes practice administrator Brian Lemanski. “For example, if a diabetic patient were to have a diabetic eye exam, the data generated from a visit with our ophthalmologists would be available to any physician’s group that is also integrated with HixNY, assuming that that physician’s group also participates and has a signed consent on file. It also reduces the need to wait for records to be faxed or transferred for continuity of care.”

//The office of Dr. Mabel Cheng and Dr. Nicole Lemanski is the first ophthalmology group in the Capital Region to offer eye exam data to the HixNY Network. We encourage all patients to sign up for HixNY at the time of your visit. If you are a current patient, please speak to a member of our staff for more details.
