Among the COVID-19 guidance provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for business is to prepare for “social distancing” to minimize exposure.

COVID-19 is a national health care crisis that requires efforts by every part of the U.S. healthcare sector to combat. Researchers, clinicians, policy makers, and others are asking the right questions to try and formulate the best strategy to mitigate the impacts of the crisis. They want to help the public by determining where and how should we strengthen containment measures as well as where and when can we re-open economically vital businesses. After two decades of massive investment by the public and private sectors in healthcare information technology, however, they remain hamstrung by a lack of meaningful interoperability and access to data.
Today is an important day as I proudly announce the launch of Healthcare Triangle, Inc. Healthcare Triangle or HCTI will create an unshakable system that empowers providers, payers, and the life sciences industry to deliver the best outcomes through breakthrough technology and healthcare know-how.

The 21st Century Cures Act, a United States law enacted at the end of 2016, mandates patient data interoperability for payers, providers, and healthcare organizations. As we approach rolling implementation deadlines, healthcare organizations are wrestling with how to liberate data from siloed systems – not only to give patients more granular control of their data, but also to improve outcomes by giving doctors a more complete view into their patients’ conditions.
Healthcare has relied on interface engines for decades to transport and transform data between systems. These monolithic systems are typically big, complex and require highly specialized skills to implement and operate. In most cases they represent a large capital investment and are difficult to replace because of how interwoven they become in the organization.
With the growing popularity of Hyperledger Fabric among major enterprises who also widely use SAP in their Supply Chain ecosystem, we look into ways and means through which a robust integration can be done between SAP and Hyperledger Fabric.
Roche, the pharma giant discusses their experiences on leveraging neutral zone for data collaboration to accelerate drug discovery and personalized medicine.
According to Deloitte’s Tech Trends 2022 report, by the end of 2023, “We expect to see more organizations explore opportunities to create seamless, secure data-sharing capabilities that can help them monetize their own information assets and accomplish business goals using other people’s data.”
The healthcare industry is at a critical juncture as it works to improve patient care in the future. The need for highly regulated HIPAA data sharing among healthcare organizations and competitors has become increasingly essential. As data-driven decisions are becoming more commonplace, the ability to share information securely and efficiently across multiple providers is essential for improving patient outcomes. With the rise of cloud-based technologies, healthcare organizations have an opportunity to share data in a secure and compliant manner.
