Welcome to the Delaware Health Information Network (DHIN)—Better communication for better healthcare. DHIN is a safe way for hospitals, labs and radiology facilities to send health information to your doctor. It helps make sure your doctor has the results and reports he or she needs to give you the best care. Hospitals, doctors, labs, radiology facilities and consumers have developed it.
Today, doctors get lab results and x-ray reports from many different places. And, they come in many different ways. For example, they can come by fax, mail, courier and interoffice mail. Sometimes results get lost. Or sometimes they get sent to the wrong office. This makes it hard for your doctor to get your results when he or she needs them.
DHIN is good for you and your doctor. Here’s why. - DHIN Saves Time—Your doctor gets your results as soon as they’re ready. This means you can be treated more quickly. Also, there’s less chance your results will get lost—elimintaing the need to get duplicate tests.
- DHIN Improves Care—Your test results and reports go right to your doctor and are in one format. This means less chance for error in your treatment.
- DHIN Reduces Cost—With fewer errors, your out-of-pocket costs are lower. This means less cost to you for unneeded medication, lab and radiology tests and hospitalization.
- DHIN Enhances Privacy—Only your doctor and those people you and your doctor involve in your care can see your information. DHIN makes health information more secure than ever.
