iShare Medical is a complete medical record, organized around the person, that is easily and securely shared across trusted providers, organizations, software program, devices , and payers and available at your fingertips 24/7/365.
A complete medical record does not exist. The Institute of Medicine book To Err is Human: Building a Safer Medical System states that “When people see healthcare providers in different care settings, none who have access to complete information, it becomes easier for things to go wrong”. Incomplete information can lead to preventable wrong decisions. In fact, in a study done by Johns Hopkins University, they found that preventable medical errors are the third leading cause of death in the U.S. behind heart disease and cancer. This is in large part because medical records are stored based on the provider. Each provider has a fragment of information that is not shared with other providers.
When patients and providers have complete information it is amazing what things can be achieved such as saving lives, improving care and outcomes, and reducing the code of healthcare. iShare Medical is a complete medical record, organized around the person that is easily and securely shared across trusted providers, patients, organizations, software programs, devices and payers and available 24/7/365.
Our target markets are patients who need access to their own information, providers who need to share medical records and insurance information with other providers and payers who need access to medical records to provide prior approval for services or to pay a claim.
