Dear SHARE HIE Participants,
As we reflect on this season of gratitude, we want to take a moment to sincerely thank each of you for your continued collaboration, partnership, and commitment to health information exchange across Arkansas. Your participation in SHARE HIE is not simply a technical connection, it is a lifeline that strengthens care delivery, supports providers, and improves the health outcomes of the patients we all serve.
Because of your dedication to connecting, sharing, and using data, Arkansas patients are benefiting in meaningful and measurable ways every single day. Together, we are building a more connected healthcare ecosystem that places patients at the center of care and empowers providers with timely, actionable information.
Your Collaboration is Making a Real Impact by:
- Improving care coordination by ensuring providers have access to complete patient histories across care settings.
- Reducing duplicate tests and procedures, saving patients time and lowering healthcare costs.
- Enhancing patient safety through real-time access to allergies, medications, diagnoses, and prior encounters.
- Strengthening transitions of care, especially during hospital admissions, discharges, and emergency department visits.
- Enabling proactive follow-up through ED and inpatient discharge notifications to primary care providers, behavioral health providers, and care managers.
- Supporting population health and risk stratification across ACOs, CINs, and payer networks.
- Enhancing behavioral health integration, ensuring holistic care for the whole patient.
Your participation in SHARE HIE demonstrates a shared commitment to improving healthcare access, quality, and efficiency for every Arkansan. This unified approach allows us to move from fragmented care toward a truly connected system that prioritizes outcomes, access, and patient-centered care.
We are incredibly thankful for your trust, your innovation, and your ongoing partnership. Together, we are not just connecting data, we are connecting lives, improving outcomes, and shaping the future of healthcare in Arkansas.
