Finnegan is one of the oldest & most-trusted Arkansas DME companies. By further expanding its interoperability with using SHARE (Arkansas’ only Statewide HIE), Finnegan Health Services is using SHARE to access a patient’s DME orders and results, especially from large enterprise healthcare systems. SHARE is providing the ability to securely share accurate patient health information with Finnegan Health Services, which can help to improve the speed, safety and quality of patient care while potentially cutting costs and time.
By utilizing SHARE, Finnegan Health Services will be able to enhance the way they provide quality medical products ordered by health care providers while improving patient care and enhancing the quality of peoples’ lives. Although Finnegan will not be able to push their patient’s health records into SHARE, they will be able to use the Virtual Health Record (VHR) to view a patients’ health record and get a more complete picture of their health from participating hospitals providers involved in their patients’ care. By also using SHARE Secure Messaging, Finnegan Health Services will be able to share clinical information— such as diabetic supplies prescriptions filled, urinary supplies prescriptions filled, wound care prescription supplies filled, etc. —through secure, encrypted email exchange with other providers. Most importantly, other providers can send Finnegan Health Services referrals securely and instantly that assist with transitions of care. They have been serving Arkansas and beyond since 1984.

MHC, a private, non-profit, statewide health information exchange network, is one of the largest HIE’s in the United States that provides a secure and private electronic platform to electronically share health information.
HIE’s are connected to many other local and national healthcare providers. Being connected to SHARE can allow real time updates on patients that receive care at another hospital or clinic connected to SHARE. Currently SHARE is connected to over 1,500 
No more time consuming phone calls to other physicians or waiting on a fax. You can send patient information in real time using SHARE. HIE data is digitally shared, meaning that the most up to date information is available as soon as it is uploaded. This contributes to the timeliness of the information needed during transitions of care. 
HIE’s take some of the burden off providers having to send patient information through mail, courier or fax. Using HIE’s like SHARE enables providers to view all of their patient’s information in the same place without sifting through piles of paperwork or logging into multiple hospitals or provider systems. Healthcare providers can query SHARE and pull up patient records into their local electronic medical records (EMR) system via a Continuity of Care Document (CCD).
