Before Shareable Ink, the only way to digitize medical records was to type out handwritten records separately, which was not only time consuming, it was also prone to mistakes. The company’s mission is to make the transition from written medical records to electronic documentation much easier for doctors, as well as clinic and hospital personnel. Shareable Ink’s software allows doctors to input the information directly to the clinic or hospital’s private cloud storage space using online forms on their computer or iPad. The system also allows doctors within the organization to share important medical information, and if needed, with national registries and other external databases. The software also provides doctors and clinic or hospital administrators with predictive analytics to help them make the best decision for the patient, as well as for the organization.
Shareable Ink was founded by then 25-year-old PhD student Stephen S. Hau in 2008. Prior to founding Shareable Ink, Hau founded several other companies, including another healthcare information technology company called PatientKeeper. He served as CEO until the post was given to Laurie McGraw in June of 2013. McGraw brings to the company an extensive knowledge in the healthcare information technology industry and more than two decades of leadership experience. Hau still remains with the company as Chief Technology Officer and is in charge of product development and product strategy.
