What We DoConnected Care Exchange is on a mission to improve the quality, efficiency, and coordination of healthcare by providing healthcare providers with access to a patient’s complete medical history and other resources that streamline collaboration across healthcare facilities and providers.
Eliminate Gaps in CareCareShare reduces the physician burden to share or access crucial health data and puts critical information in the hands of providers. That makes it easier for providers to offer informed, accurate, and effective healthcare that improves outcomes for their patients.
Improve Care CollaborationBy putting all patient health data in one central location, CareShare makes it easy for organizations across the state, or the country, to access a complete patient record. By easing communication between organizations and providers, CareShare improves collaboration and the patient experience. Providers can also easily share updated patient data with hospitals, laboratories, pharmacies and other physicians.
CCE has the potential to improve healthcare quality while lowering costs. The benefits of CCE include better care coordination, improved efficiency, fewer medical errors, and fewer duplicate procedures. Quick, seamless data sharing is becoming more common among healthcare providers because the need for this technology is clear and the benefits are significant.

Health information exchange (HIE) is defined as the electronic movement of health-related information among health care organizations according to nationally recognized standards and conducted in a manner that protects the confidentiality, privacy, and security of the information. HIE may also refer to the electronic infrastructure that enables health care providers to access and share a patient’s medical information electronically to enhance coordination of patient care among providers, improve the quality and efficiency of care that a patient receives, improve patient safety, reduce medical errors and duplicate services. HIE is also useful in enhancing public health and disease detection and monitoring.
There is no cost to the patient.
An HIE allows two or more health care providers involved in providing care to a patient to quickly, securely, and accurately share information. Because each authorized provider can readily see a patient’s complete electronic health record (EHR), the need for duplicate medical tests is reduced, efficiency is improved, and patients receive higher quality care.
