Reduce Admin WASTE with Dr Leah Houston & Dr Mehnaz Hyder HPEC

Future of Psychiatry! Innovations in Mental Health

Dr. Leah Houston and Dr. Mehnaz Hyder, of HPEC speak about the ever increasing problem of administrative overhead and how to solve this issue, through an innovative idea of a decentralized platform for physicians. The platform would allow physicians to store their credentials in an immutable database, free from fraud, where insurance companies and others can draw from to verify identity. Physician (and all clinician) credentialing is a massive problem and requires hours of administrative time, which costs money, and slows patients from being seen earlier. When this issue is fixed, patients also stand to benefit too, not only through costs saved, but by being seen earlier, and by reducing physician burnout.
