Regional news: Delaware's RHIO goes live
EHR Connection, April 2, 2007
The Delaware Health Information Network (DHIN) went live last week with lab, radiology, and admission discharge transfer reports for three hospital systems, five practices, and the Laboratory Corporation of America. Considering the RHIO was just announced in mid-November, implementation is moving along quickly.
The DHIN is running on a $4.7 million grant from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, $2 million from the state government, and $2 million from the three hospital systems, LabCorp, and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Delaware. The commission chose Medicity of Salt Lake City, partnered with Perot Systems, as the technology suppliers for the DHIN. The Medicity/Perot team also recently won a contract to build a RHIO in California.
During the next phase, DHIN will develop its record-locator system.
