The Diagnostic Information System (sm)
Vision Statement
•Standardize and clinically integrate the display of all diagnostic tests for the statewide RI HIE Project by granting the U.S. patent rights to the state as an in-kind contribution. •Rhode Island will develop and deploy this nationally replicable, clinically logical display format and share it with other leading HIEs and their contracted HIT vendors. •Rhode Island and other states will produce private sector income to sustain HIE operations and expand its services by sharing in royalty payments  based on sales of the DIS format in other states.
