Physician credentialing is a major barrier to physician employment mobility, and a significant contributor to the ongoing misappropriation of the physicians time to non-care tasks. In order for physicians to work, they must prove their identity with their credentials in a lengthy process fraught with administrative waste. Because there is no verifiable and streamlined way to do this it costs the system over $5 billion dollars a year unnecessarily.Until recently there has been no viable solution to this complex problem, but with the development of blockchain distributed ledger technology we have a solution. On the HPEC platform physicians will have a self-sovereign identity attached to their credentials. With verified, immutable, and timestamped credentials attached to an identity that's owned and maintained by the end user those credentials will only have to be uploaded and validated once. With credentials secured in a self-sovereign way, the individual physicians will be the only ones with control and access. This will empower them to only allow permissioned access to those they choose, when they choose it. Physicians have always been the keepers of their credentials, but now there is a secure verifiable and trusted way to store them in a digital space. We at HPEC credentials will be portable giving every practicing physician autonomy, independence, and employment mobility.Another important utility HPEC provides is the independent physicians' ability to participate in secure communications and governance through the platform. HPEC will allow physicians to create micro communities around their particular specialties and areas of interest. Shared decision making based on knowledge and experience will be deployed through secure, decentralized distributed ledger cryptography that is free from both hierarchical and special interest influence. This allows physicians to come to true consensus on all healthcare issues, for the benefit of their patients.
