Primary care practices and a home health agency are among the newest connections.
ALBANY, N.Y. – Hixny connected four new healthcare provider organizations to the community-wide health information exchange (HIE) in May, further expanding the availability of patient records to the statewide healthcare community and to individual healthcare consumers.
New connections contributing data using Consolidated-Clinical Document Architecture (C-CDA) are:
- Carondelet Regional Medical PC, a general internal medicine provider practice in Amsterdam, N.Y.

- All Metro Health Care, a home health agency with branches in Albany and Schenectady, N.Y.
