Carol Raphael, MPA
President and Chief Executive Officer, Visiting Nurse Service of New York
"As a home health care provider, VNSNY has invested in technology that gives its nurses the ability to access up-to-date clinical information while in the field and in the patient's home, and allows its management to use that data to continually drive improvements in care and service delivery. However, our patients often have multiple life-long conditions that require them to see many different providers in many different settings. All providers -- including hospitals, physicians, labs and clinics -- must be prepared to share data in order to coordinate the complex care needed by an aging and increasingly diverse population. The Common Framework has given VNSNY a roadmap for aligning information policy with technology in a way that establishes trust among patients, VNSNY, other providers, and payers such as managed care companies and the state and federal governments. This trust will be critical in propelling the health care system into a future where all caregivers have access to the vital information they need to provide high quality care."
