Transforming Cancer Care: How CARTI and SHARE HIE Are Redefining Real‑Time Oncology Coordination in Arkansas

Little Rock, Arkansas- June 2026            CARTI’s integration with SHARE HIE via Flatiron OncoEMR is redefining what coordinated cancer care looks like in Arkansas, creating a seamless, real‑time clinical information network for every active CARTI patient across the entire state. By integrating Flatiron’s oncology‑specific EMR with SHARE’s statewide health information exchange, CARTI securely transmits clinical information from each patient encounter, ensuring that every provider involved in that patient’s care has immediate access to the most current, comprehensive health record. CARTI also receives alerts whenever a patient experiences an emergency department visit or inpatient hospitalization at any SHARE connected hospital, ensuring that no critical event goes unnoticed and no patient faces a health crisis without their oncology team being informed.

“This integration represents a meaningful step forward in how oncology care is delivered across Arkansas,” said Carson Seelinger, Chief Information Officer at CARTI. “By connecting Flatiron OncoEMR with SHARE HIE, we are ensuring external providers who care for CARTI patients have access to current clinical information in real time. This level of interoperability supports patient safety, improves care coordination, and allows our teams to respond more effectively during critical moments in a patient’s cancer journey”, said Seelinger.

Seamless, real‑time visibility now empowers CARTI’s physicians, nurses, and care coordinators to intervene faster, close care gaps, and provide timely follow‑up within hours of a hospitalization, dramatically improving safety during some of the most vulnerable moments in a cancer patient’s journey.

Through SHARE’s Virtual Health Record, CARTI care teams can access labs, imaging, discharge summaries, medications, and clinical notes from hospitals and providers statewide, eliminating blind spots and reducing duplicative testing, unnecessary radiation exposure, and delays in treatment decisions. Patients benefit from a smoother, more confident care experience, knowing their oncology team is automatically notified of hospital events and has the most current information at their fingertips, no matter where they seek emergency or inpatient care. Providers benefit from a unified, statewide view of their patients’ health, enabling more informed decision‑making, stronger communication with hospital teams, and a more coordinated approach to complex cancer care. Care teams benefit from streamlined workflows, fewer manual phone calls, and the assurance that critical data flows to the care teams, where it can be used to guide treatment planning, symptom management, and supportive care.

“For our clinical teams, having visibility into a patient’s emergency department visit or hospitalization makes a real difference.” said Carmen Jacobson, BSN, RN, Sr. Clinical Analyst at CARTI. “Real‑time alerts and shared clinical data mean we can reach out sooner, close gaps in care, and support patients when they need us most. Our partnership with SHARE HIE improves the level of coordinated, compassionate care we are able to provide statewide, said Jacobson.

Together, CARTI and SHARE HIE are building a statewide oncology ecosystem that is faster, safer, more connected, and more compassionate, one that ensures every Arkansan facing cancer receives timely, coordinated, data‑driven care, supported by a network that truly surrounds them, protects them, and lifts them up at every step of their journey.
