The Statewide Common Participation Agreement (SCPA) is a standardized agreement with a goal of ensuring consistent and secure data sharing across the Statewide Health Information Network of New York (SHIN-NY). It is an integral piece of New York’s health information exchange framework.
Last month, the agreement was released with notice that all regulated entities in New York will be required to sign the agreement to remain compliant with statewide policies and procedures. You can find more information here.

With a goal of prioritizing clarity and efficiency, we will work with you to stay on track with established deadlines while avoiding interruption to services or data availability.
Understanding the SCPA
The SCPA is a legal framework developed by the New York State Department of Health and the New York eHealth Collaborative (NYeC). It is replacing existing participation agreements that existed with individual qualified entities (QEs)—like Hixny—to provide consistency across the SHIN-NY.
By aligning with the SCPA, your organization continues to contribute to a more connected and efficient healthcare system, ensuring that patient information is accessible when and where it's needed most.
