Technical Advisory Committee (TAC)

About the TAC

The TAC is responsible for the development and amendment of SHIN-NY SOPs that address technical data contribution standards, technical standards for services provided by Qualified Entities (QEs), and technical standards and requirements for interoperability among SHIN-NY participants.

In providing advice and recommendations, the TAC seeks to leverage national HIE standards and harmonize with evolving federal program requirements to the extent possible, aiming to limit the burden of adoption on New York participants.
