The Eastern Shore’s largest hospital network – Peninsula Regional Medical Center (PRMC) based in Salisbury, MD. Has joined the Delaware Health Information Network.
When fully online later this year, laboratory, pathology and radiology test results as well as the transcription summaries of thousands of Delawareans who seek care at PRMC will be delivered and accessed through DHIN.
“The days of patients being asked to carry copies of their own records, or of medical practices needing to fax, scan or mail results is diminishing,” said Dr. Jan Lee, CEO of DHIN. “This is a very exciting moment for all of us. It is the deepest across-state-lines agreement we have developed to-date, and it will result in saved time and effort for medical professionals and better care for patients.”
PRMC is the largest Maryland hospital to join DHIN, continuing the momentum begun in 2013 when Atlantic General Hospital in Berlin, MD came aboard and expanding earlier this spring when Union Hospital came onboard.
DHIN was the first statewide health information exchange to launch in the United States.
