The Delaware Health Information Network (DHIN), which went live last month, is the first implementation of a statewide health information exchange, according to its developers.

At first, the network will deliver lab test results, radiology reports, and admission, discharge and transfer reports to the participants -- three hospital systems, five doctors' practices with 30 offices and 70 physicians among them, and LabCorp. More users will be added while the next phase -- a record locator system -- is developed.
