The Interboro RHIO is a clinical data exchange (CDE) serving Queens, northern Brooklyn, and surrounding communities. The Interboro RHIO facilitates the sharing of patient information between authorized health care providers at the point of care.
The Interboro RHIO is a fast growing organization that plans to link community physicians to its current list of participants which already includes four hospitals, two home care agencies, three long-term care facilities and one health plan. By incorporating a significant portion of the community providers in our service area, we can create real opportunities to improve healthcare in terms of safety, effectiveness, patient-centeredness, timeliness, efficiency and equity.
