Health Information Exchange (HIE) has the potential to change the way we provide and receive medical care. It can assist in eliminating fatal medical errors and save lives. Changes are on the way for health care in Central Arkansas. PrimeCare Medical Clinic, a multispecialty clinic with locations in Searcy, North Little Rock, Conway, and West Conway, has integrated their eCW electronic medical record system with SHARE HIE. The goal behind this coordinated effort is to better connect physicians with the patients’ health data while PrimeCARE Doctors, Physician Assistants, and Nurse Practitioners work collaboratively to provide excellent care with a more complete health record of their patient.
Widespread interoperability for health information exchange (HIE) could revolutionize the medical industry through enhanced care coordination, diminished clinician burnout, and increased access to data for medical care and analytics.
“Our clinics have been using SHARE HIE for over 2 years now and have been very satisfied with the service they provide. They do just what they set out to do and have connected our clinic with valuable patient health information.” “It is very common for there to be a delay in receiving patient records, and this can truly hinder the overall care they receive and their experience at the clinic. Having immediate access to this information has assisted us in providing more thorough treatment plans, medication management, emergency room and inpatient follow-up, and improved overall patient care.”
Tim Weaver, CEO PrimeCare Medical Clinic
“PrimeCare providers, like many, monitor large patient caseloads along with their medication management and hospitalization follow-up. The SHARE hospitalization reports allow us to have alerts regarding specific patients which has assisted with providing the best patient care we can, while reducing duplicate work, and additional costs to the patients."
Cristina Smith, Care Manager PrimeCare Medical Clinic
Benefits of SHARE HIE include better access to health care, less paperwork for doctors and patients, better care, increase in administrative efficiency, decrease in the cost of healthcare, and prevention of deadly medical errors. Having access to the most up-to-date patient information can assist care teams to deliver the best possible care, avoid duplicate medical tests, and save time.
