CMS Healthtech Initiative

Making it easy for a patient to share their complete data with their physician prior to an appointment

These products enable a patient to share their data with their physician, family member or caregiver. The healthcare industry lacks streamlined information exchange. The “Kill the Clipboard” (KTC) initiative was conceived to enable a patient to easily share their data and have that appear in their provider’s EMR, effectively killing the clipboard. 

PatientShare is more than that; patients need the ability to note errors in their record and provide additional information to their physicians before their visit.  Providers need that information in their EHR workflow without manually entering content. All this needs to occur securely, while protecting patient privacy and ensuring trust.  Patient Centric Solutions (PCS) is honored to work with the CMS health tech initiative and be part of solutions to move this new vision forward.

The following products were released as MVP versions of these solutions for March 2026. PCS is continuing to work on updated releases, both for July and ongoing efforts to meet our goals.

For Patients

For Providers

  • Provides the complete medical background for new patients
  • A more comprehensive, longitudinal view of the patient history than available in their EMR
  • Since data is available as discrete data elements, doctors can easily import data into their EMR where it belongs, instead of via a long document that is never read again
  • Lowers burden
  • Enables more informed care
  • Can be integrated directly into the provider’s EMR workflow.

PatientShare Patient-mediated Exchange Solution

The PatientShare solution lets the patient pull their health data into one longitudinal record, add content, and provides a secure mechanism to make that data available to their doctors, family members, caregivers, or whoever they choose.

PatientShare enables that clinical content to be delivered in-person using a QR code (CMS approach) or through secure sharing mechanisms before and after the visit.

PatientShare includes secure consent-driven exchange of clinical data built on user-managed access. The PatientShare solution includes not only abilities for the patient to share their data securely, it also includes a system for the provider to receive the patient’s data securely.
