Information technology development firm Perot Systems of Plano, TX, has teamed with Salt Lake City-based Medicity to build the first statewide health information exchange for the Delaware Health Information Network (DHIN).
The six-year contract, with two automatically renewing two-year extensions, was awarded in competitive bidding in October, Perot said.
Perot will work with Medicity and the state of Delaware to develop, implement, and operate the network to deliver real-time clinical information sharing among all healthcare providers, hospitals, labs, and pharmacies across the state.
Medicity will provide its Regional Health Information Organization (RHIO) software platform and health information exchange architecture to the venture, while Perot will provide data-center services from its Plano Technology Center, technical and provider help desks, and outreach training, as well as onsite customer service.
