Abstract
The State Health Alliance Record Exchange (SHARE) is a state-wide health information exchange that allows healthcare providers to have immediate access to patient information to make better-informed treatment decisions. It gives healthcare providers a more complete understanding of their patients’ health, which could ultimately result in avoiding unnecessary hospital readmissions, preventing medication errors, improving diagnoses, avoiding duplicate testing, and lowering patient care costs. The data that is contributed through SHARE is categorized into admission/ discharge/ transfer (or ADT), laboratory results, LabCorp specific laboratory results, radiology reports, transcription documents such as progress notes, discharge summary, and patient notes, and continuity of care documents (or CCDs) which may contain lab, radiology, discharge summaries, and progress notes.
This research analyzes the categorical data that is contributed to SHARE by facilities in Arkansas to date as of September 2023. A descriptive approach was utilized to describe the categorical data contributed to SHARE through measures of central tendency. Tertiary data was gathered from SHARE’s website and SHARE’s HIT Policy Director, Justin Villines on 2,529 Arkansas facilities. The question that this research aims to answer is: What are the measures of central tendency of the categorical data contributed to SHARE by Arkansas facilities to date as of September 2023?
The results show that the mode of data contributed to SHARE by Arkansas facilities is the category Admission/ Discharge/ Transfer from 2,500 facilities, the median of data contributed is the categories Lab Results from 988 facilities and Transcription Documents from 989 facilities, and the mean of data contributed is by 1,298 Arkansas facilities.
This study generates an awareness of categorical data contributed to SHARE by Arkansas facilities specifically. This could impact health information management documentation processes or standards by bringing focus to certain types of data based on the measures of central tendency of what is being contributed.
