Join Andrew Tisser with Leah Houston as they talk about blockchain technology. Leah is an emergency physician, a real estate investor, and a blockchain expert. She shares what blockchains are and why investing in it for the medical field can truly help health professionals and patients.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

·       The dangers that we don’t realize about the internet. We don’t own the information we think we have!

·       What blockchains are – transferring data (or digital currencies) without worrying about third party entities collecting your data.

·       How it could be used to make burdensome credentialing procedures much more efficient, saving billions of dollars per year!

·       Improving the way we handle information and it’s benefits for patient experience. 

·       The value of following your gut. Don’t let other people tell you otherwise.

About the Humanitarian Physicians Empowerment Community: 

In this impending digital health era physicians need an easy way to organize in a digital space while also maintaining sovereign independence from centralized hierarchy and control.

Physicians took the Hippocratic Oath, and especially in this ever-advancing digital age, our duty to our patients extends to their protected health information, which includes the information we document in electronic health records.

As physicians our digital documentation and sharing of the patient’s information with third parties needs to end in order to preserve the sanctity and the privacy of the physician patient relationship.

Patients should have control over their health records. It is the physicians who create these records, so it is the physicians who need to build and provide access to the solutions to allow them to do that.
