Hixny’s Snapshot Application Now Available to All Providers in New York

Published

on

In a new SHIN-NY collaboration, Hixny has made it easy for providers across the state
to screen patients for HRSN and query the state’s controlled substance database.

ALBANY, N.Y., April 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Hixny, New York’s cutting-edge health information exchange (HIE), announced today that every provider in New York State has access to the limited view of their patient snapshot tool. The result of a collaboration among partners in the Statewide Health Information Network for New York (SHIN-NY), providers can request the tool directly from the qualified entity (QE) with whom they partner.

Since 2020, Hixny’s patient record snapshot has delivered insights and data points to connected healthcare providers in an easy-to-navigate format, surfacing critical and actionable information within existing workflows. In the past year, Hixny has introduced new capabilities, including direct access to the state’s Prescription Monitoring Program query tool (formerly I-STOP) and a health-related social needs (HRSN) screening tool that meets all the requirements of the state’s 1115 Medicaid waiver amendment. It’s these recently added services that are now available to providers across the state.

“The healthcare providers in our focus groups have been adamant that easier access to necessary tools within existing workflows is what they’re looking for,” said Mark McKinney, Hixny’s CEO. “This limited view offers that exactly.”

Using SMART on FHIR technology, the limited view snapshot application is available directly within electronic health records (EHR) systems. When launched, the provider will see basic demographic information on the patient whose record they’re viewing, the option to begin a social needs screening with the patient, or the ability to search the patient’s controlled substance prescription history.

The tool is available at no cost to providers or QEs, through collaboration with New York eHealth Collaborative (NYeC), the State Designated Entity named by the New York State Department of Health to provide leadership and oversight to the SHIN-NY.

“One of our priorities is to enable collaboration to improve patient outcomes,” David Horrocks, NYeC’s CEO, explained, “and Hixny created a tool that can seamlessly help achieve that. It was a no-brainer to join forces and ensure every healthcare provider in New York has access.”

Healthcare providers who are interested in seeing how Hixny’s limited view can be integrated with their EHR system are encouraged to reach out to their QE.

By

WASHINGTON, April 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Ampace, a global leader in advanced lithium-ion battery technology, is participating in Data Center World 2026 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center (Booth 206), where active visitor engagement reflected growing industry focus on how power infrastructure must evolve for the AI era.

This year, Ampace is showcasing how battery systems are becoming an increasingly important enabler of gigascale AI infrastructure. From cell-level technologies to system-level deployment, spanning applications from commercial and industrial energy storage to UPS systems, Ampace is presenting solutions designed to help data centers manage rising power volatility, improve resilience, and scale more efficiently.

At the center of the showcase is the PU Series, Ampace’s AI-ready battery platform engineered for the increasingly dynamic conditions of modern compute environments. As AI clusters drive 100kW+ rack densities, millisecond-level load spikes, and frequent workload transitions, conventional backup systems are being asked to do far more than emergency support. Ampace’s PU Series is designed to absorb rapid fluctuations, maintain stable output, and support uninterrupted operation under highly variable AI workloads.

A key highlight of Ampace’s presence this week will be its featured TECH TALK session with Eaton on April 22, from 2:30 PM to 3:15 PM (Room 209ABC), titled Powering Gigascale AI: How Advanced Batteries Stabilize Extreme Training Loads.

The session will bring together shared industry perspectives from Aaron Schott, UPS Sales Manager at Ampace, and Jon Hymel, Product Manager at Eaton, two professionals working closely with hyperscale, colocation, enterprise, and mission-critical customers navigating the next wave of AI infrastructure growth.

Together, the speakers will explore how established UPS architectures and advanced lithium battery systems are increasingly working in tandem to meet the operational realities of AI data centers. The discussion will examine how battery technologies can support real-time load balancing, improve reliability, and help operators prepare for the transition from megawatt-scale campuses to gigawatt-scale compute ecosystems.

Their joint appearance reflects a growing alignment across the power infrastructure ecosystem: scalable AI requires not only more electricity, but smarter coordination between UPS systems, energy storage, and facility operations. As data centers evolve, battery-enabled continuity is becoming a shared priority across technology providers, operators, and infrastructure partners.

Built for demanding AI applications, Ampace’s platform is engineered to respond rapidly during ramp-up and ramp-down events, while maintaining stable operation under continuous partial-load cycling. Its semi-solid cell technology further enhances intrinsic safety by reducing leakage risk and lowering thermal runaway gas generation, while cabinet-level validation under UL 9540A standards reinforces readiness for mission-critical deployments.

At Ampace’s booth, visitors have been exploring how advanced battery systems can help reduce infrastructure oversizing, relieve pressure on grid connections, and improve continuity in facilities originally designed for steady-state demand. The strong response reflects a broader market shift: batteries are no longer viewed only as standby assets, but as active components of modern AI power architecture.

Visit Booth 206 to meet the Ampace team, experience the PU Series on site, and join in-depth discussions on how advanced battery solutions are helping build a more resilient, scalable, and efficient AI infrastructure. On-site specialists are available throughout the show for live demonstrations, technical briefings, and media inquiries.
