"To date, no health system has been able to overcome the obstacles and challenges to cross-border, comprehensive health information interoperability. Despite enormous investments and advances in technology, the health industry is still unable to consistently identify patients; give them access to their information; analyse and measure trends, risks, outcomes and costs; or agree on common standards to safely send, receive and manage data across different records systems.
"When we have so much to gain by working together to reduce illness and improve health outcomes, why are healthcare providers, practitioners, academics and health research institutions still unable to access, aggregate and share health information?"
By binding criteria and credentials to the smallest attribute levels from everything gathered about and from an individual, the EP3 Foundation enables Decision Intelligence on people and their health. This capability is based on numerous criteria, and serves to protect the privacy of patients. This is a major leap forward in providing health information interoperability.
