INTEROPERABILITY FOR HEALTHIER COMMUNITIES.

COMMUNITY PROJECT FUNDING/CONGRESSIONALLY DIRECTED SPENDING - NON-CONSTRUCTION - AS THE FIRST STATE'S HEALTH INFORMATION EXCHANGE, DELAWARE HEALTH INFORMATION NETWORK (DHIN) IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SAFE AND SECURE EXCHANGE OF HEALTHCARE DATA, SERVING A CRITICAL FUNCTION FOR EVERY DELAWAREAN WHO SEEKS MEDICAL CARE AND SAVING TIME, MONEY AND LIVES. PATIENT IDENTIFICATION IS ONE OF THE TOUGHEST COMPONENTS OF WORKING WITH THIS DATA AND ENSURING THAT THE RIGHT DATA IS CALLED UP FOR THE RIGHT PATIENT IS KEY. DHIN IS REQUESTING $1.4 MILLION IN FUNDING TO UPGRADE ITS MASTER PATIENT INDEX TO A STATE-OF-THE-ART DATA REPOSITORY THAT PROVIDES THE HIGHEST MATCH RATE FOR PATIENTS BASED ON THE LEAST AMOUNT OF DATA AND, THROUGH ITS NATIONAL DATABASE, ALLOWS MATCHES TO BE MADE FOR PATIENTS WHO DON'T RESIDE IN DELAWARE. THIS TECHNOLOGY BENEFITS EVERY PATIENT WHO SEEKS CARE AT ONE OF THE STATE’S NINE HOSPITALS/HEALTH CARE SYSTEMS; THE MORE THAN 11,000 CLINICIANS WHO RELY ON DHIN’S DATA DAILY IN RENDERING CARE; DELAWARE’S DIVISION OF PUBLIC HEALTH, DIVISION OF SUBSTANCE ABUSE & MENTAL HEALTH AND DIVISION OF MEDICARE & MEDICAID ASSISTANCE, WHOSE TEAMS REGULARLY RELY ON DHIN‘S MASTER PATIENT INDEX FOR ENRICHING PATIENT DATA AND COORDINATING CARE SERVICES; AND THE LONG-TERM POST-ACUTE CARE FACILITIES WHOSE RESIDENTS ARE OFTEN ”FREQUENT FLYERS” BETWEEN HOSPITALS AND FACILITIES. UPGRADING DELAWARE’S MASTER PERSON DIRECTORY SERVES PATIENTS, CLINICIANS AND PUBLIC HEALTH, ENSURING DHIN REMAINS THE RELIED-UPON SOURCE FOR PATIENT HEALTH DATA IN DELAWARE AND PROVIDING BACKEND SUPPORT FOR HEALTHCARE SOLUTIONS THAT MAKE DELAWAREANS - AND DELAWARE - HEALTHIER.
