Guest Presentation

Image Added

• Ben Parkison, Director of Product Management at Lumedic, Inc.,, a healthcare startup focused on revenue cycle management (RCM) solutions, and recently acquired by Providence Health, will present to HC-SIG membership a self-sovereign identity (SSI) management solution live demonstration using Hyperledger Indy to permit patients to electronically update providers and payers with member details through secure digital wallet transactions. From Ben and his team:

The development of decentralized identifiers (DIDs), a core component of digital self-sovereign identity (SSI) management, has created new opportunities for the efficient and secure exchange of information between entities in a number of different industries.

In healthcare specifically, DIDs and the concept of digital, verifiable credentials allow for a fundamentally new way of thinking about the patient financial experience. By allowing patients, providers, and payers to use digital credentialing to establish trust, patients can take control of their financial experience while allowing healthcare systems and insurance companies to eliminate processing overheads. Lumedic, a healthcare company focused on streamlining revenue cycle management (RCM), is using DIDs and digital credentials to create new technologies that allow payers and providers to focus on patients, not administration. Our Lumedic DID demo, using Hyperledger Indy, will illustrate the core concepts of DIDs and digital credentials as they relate to healthcare, and demonstrate how a common patient registration experience is transformed using these technologies.
