This legislation provides a more permanent governance structure for the Delaware Health Information Network (DHIN), by removing the DHIN from the organizational structure of the Delaware Healthcare Commission and by moving toward a more traditional public/private corporation model of governance. The bill also imposes greater accountability and transparency with annual detailed reports to the Governor and the General Assembly, including annual certified audits and a detailed business/sustainability plan. The bill provides for a balanced board, with representation from the healthcare industry and government, including the State’s Director of Management and Budget and the Controller General. This legislation maintains the current law with respect to the protection of the privacy of patient specific information and limitations on liability. This legislation is the product of significant input and effort from the Joint Sunset Committee and its staff, members of the current DHIN Board, members of the Delaware healthcare and business community, the Administration and the primary sponsors of this legislation.

An Act To Amend Title 16 Of The Delaware Code Relating To The Delaware Health Information Network.
