New York State Executive

Order for Clinical Laboratories

On December 13, 2020, the Governor issued an Executive Order which included a mandate that all clinical laboratories with more than 25 employees must contribute data to an HIE through the Statewide Health Information Network of New York (SHIN-NY). The timeline for this is 60 days.

At this time, the NYS Department of Health is best suited to answer further questions and can be reached at [email protected].
