Delaware Health Information Network

Delaware Health Information Network (DHIN) was the first live, statewide health information exchange in the nation.

DHIN, the nation's first statewide health information exchange, delivers more than 14 million results annually for more than 3 million patients in Delaware and beyond. Launched in 2007, today it serves all of Delaware’s acute care hospitals and nearly 100% of the state’s medical providers. More than 14 million clinical results and reports are delivered through DHIN each year. There are over three million unique patients with results on DHIN, including patients from all 50 states. DHIN shares real-time clinical information to improve patient outcomes, eliminate the duplication of services and reduce the cost of healthcare. In addition to its role as Delaware’s health information exchange, DHIN also powers the State’s Health Care Claims Database. The database collects healthcare claims, enrollment, and provider data from Medicare, Medicaid and the seven largest commercial health insurers in the State of Delaware, making it the single largest repository of claims data Delaware has ever had. The Delaware Health Information Network (DHIN) was enacted by the Delaware General Assembly in 1997 as a public-private partnership for the benefit of all citizens of Delaware to advance the creation of a statewide health information network and to address Delaware's needs for timely, reliable and relevant health care information.

What happens after an ER visit for a traumatic brain injury?

That’s the question DHIN and the State Council for Persons with Disabilities worked together to answer.

By linking clinical and claims data, we help uncover patterns in care, identify disparities and support more informed decision-making for patients with TBIs.

Behind the work we do at DHIN are people who think deeply about how to make healthcare better.

Here’s some insight from Ben Sharp, Senior Technical Business Analyst at DHIN:

"Healthcare has never been simple, but today, it’s more complex than ever.

That’s where connected data makes a difference. When providers can see a clearer picture, they can make more informed decisions, reduce uncertainty and improve care.

It may seem like a small piece of the puzzle, but access to timely, reliable data can have a meaningful impact on both providers and the patients they serve.

At DHIN, we focus on simplifying complexity so healthcare works better for everyone in Delaware."

Instead of contacting individual facilities to obtain patient results, DHIN customers can use the CHR to search for their patients and then view, print or download their results. This allows our customers to make informed decisions about their patients and provide them with the best possible care outcomes.

Some great insights from Dr. Gurpreet Kaur, Senior Healthcare Research Analyst at DHIN:

Using Data to Understand Traumatic Brain Injury

In recognition of Brain Injury Awareness Month, the Delaware Health Information Network highlights the role of health data in improving our understanding of traumatic brain injury. Through the analysis of claims data, DHIN research efforts have examined how individuals with traumatic brain injuries interact with the healthcare system — from emergency care to follow-up treatment.

Using claims data analytics, DHIN conducted research to better understand patterns of traumatic brain injury across the healthcare system. By analyzing claims data, the study was able to:

Identify trends in healthcare utilization following traumatic brain injury.

Understand patterns of emergency visits, hospitalizations, and follow-up care.

Support insights into care coordination and long-term health outcomes.

Identify areas where targeted population health strategies can support better outcomes.

Health data provides a powerful tool for advancing research and supporting evidence-based healthcare decisions that ultimately benefit patients and communities. During Brain Injury Awareness Month, we recognize the importance of research, data, and collaboration in improving outcomes for individuals affected by brain injury.

Better Communication for Better Healthcare

DHIN creates efficiencies for doctors, patients, practices, and those who send them clinical information.

It eliminates the need for slower and more expensive delivery methods. Most importantly, DHIN improves patient care, enhances patient privacy, and improves practice efficiency.

Delaware Health Information Network’s roots reach back to 1997 when the Delaware General Assembly enacted the organization as a public/private partnership. The objective was, and remains today, to advance the creation of a statewide health information network that addresses our state’s needs for timely, reliable and relevant health care information.

In 2007, DHIN “went live” – meaning it became the first operational statewide health information exchange in the nation. During the past ten years, DHIN has developed a consistent track record for the safe and secure delivery of clinical results (lab and pathology), reports (both radiology and transcribed), and face sheets (hospital admission, discharge, and transfer data, including demographic and billing information).
