□ Currently no clear work products related to facilitating access to full medical record during emergency incidents
□ Potential pilot project with ONC would help with this□ Tremendous amount of work happening in this area related to DSRIP
□ How to close out this topic area for the Patient Movement Workgroup?□ Identify highest priority gaps that hamper emergency incident medical record access & best
venues to address/work on these gaps (i.e. separate workgroup, regional priority setting body, existing Health IT work groups)
Ensuring Access to the Full Medical Record8
□ Cyberattack (with an emphasis on cyber impacts that affect patient care) is the theme for the 2015-2016 Emergency Preparedness Symposia series
□ 10/19 meeting featured a cybersecurity panel and break out sessions□ Goal is to help NYC hospitals develop cyberattack emergency operations plans over the course
of the next year□ Key strategy is to bring emergency managers and Health IT professionals together for joint
planning
□ GNYHA offering programming related to cybersecurity□ Will work to ensure that emergency manager community is included in outreach for this
programming
