In this episode, you will learn:
Leah Houston, M.D. is a board certified emergency physician. While practicing emergency medicine across the U.S. for nearly 10 years, she recognized a common problem. Uncompensated administrative burdens related physician employment and credentialing are a leading cause of administrative waste and physician burnout. She began HPEC in 2018 when realizing that Blockchain could solve the obstructive regulatory problems in healthcare with its distributed ledger technology. HPEC is building a platform that will give every physician a self-sovereign digital identity attached to their credentials in order to create a decentralized autonomous organization of physicians and surgeons. This is essentially a democratic physician’s guild. HPEC will streamline the current laborious process of credentialing, reduce administrative waste, improve access to care and give physicians sovereign ownership of their data and employment rights. The organization will also create an opportunity for physicians to communicate more efficiently about policy, practice and, in turn, improve patient care.
