INTERVIEW HIGHLIGHTS:
[01:19] Your company, Professional Credentials Exchange, has come up with an innovative idea on leveraging Blockchain for Healthcare. Can you tell us about it?
[01:19] Healthcare provider credentialing is a 4-6 month process.
[06:10] How will you incentivize practitioners and insurance companies to join the collective on the Blockchain?
[06:37] Every day that a hospital practitioner doesn't bill, the hospital forfeits $7,500. That's $150k / month, and $900k / 6 months!
[09:38] Credentialing is a perpetual process.
[13:33] What are the major components of the exchange infrastructure? Why use Blockchain?
[17:53] According to an article posted by Forbes, we have an epidemic of health data breaches across the country, and 40% of those breaches come from people who already have access to health records in some form or another -- what we call insiders. How do you address the governance of the data inside the Blockchain?
[23:46] How does something like this scale effectively in such a large market?
[26:31] What, in your opinion, are the keys to building a successful application leveraging blockchain technology?
[27:49] Why can't you store large amounts of data on a blockchain?
[27:49] Blockchain is not a database. It's a distributed transactional ledger.
Questions from the Audience:
[29:10] Ken Herron - CMO Intelligent IoT Messaging Company, Unified Inbox, Orlando, FL - Hi Anthony! If you were to ask three smart people what Blockchain is, you'd likely get three (if not more) different answers. As patients are one of healthcare's key stakeholders, how do you suggest Blockchain, how it is being used, and why, be explained (preferably proactively) to patients?
[31:37] Bennet Bayer - Former Global CMO @ Huawei and long-time Microsoft distributor and channel champion, Seattle, WA- How do you separate Blockchain from the cryptocurrency discussion?
