Delaware Health Information Network and Newark-based Danio Diary will partner on care coordination and communication initiatives to help improve healthcare outcomes for Delawareans.
DHIN provides an electronic network through which hospitals, physicians, laboratories and other clinical entities quickly and securely exchange clinical results and reports.
Danio is a pioneer in the efforts to create a trusted care network that supplements efforts to coordinate medical records with perspectives from less formal sources (i.e. patient logs, self-reported content, etc.).
The Danio platform, with a high degree of security, provides a more complete picture of patient well-being so that treatments can be optimized and changing conditions can be addressed quickly, the release stated.
“This collaboration is a natural progression for us,” said DHIN Chief Operating Officer Randy Farmer. “Both organizations offer patients and their families 21stcentury tools to help better navigate a challenging healthcare system. The potential of deeper collaboration to build an integration of our two patient-centered platforms should provide for an even more powerful care management experience.”
“A partnership with DHIN is a natural outgrowth of our efforts to develop a technology that coordinates care among all those who have a vested interest in a patient’s outcome,” said Danio Managing Partner Anthony Wright. “We couldn’t be happier that we will be working together to raise awareness of the importance of coordinating care. Danio was developed to save lives. Working with DHIN makes our efforts even more effective.”
The next steps will include connecting Delaware residents with their own health history through DHIN’s free personal health record, Health Check Connect, as well as creating and maintaining a trusted care network using the Danio platform, the release stated.
