The "Standard" in eConsent Management
Easy, Ready, Legal, Secure
You Take Control, Inc. (YTC) has developed a powerful Electronic Consent Management (ECM) Solution. ECM is a critical enabling technology that will un-encumber health information exchange between patients, their providers, and their payers.
The Healthcare market in the U.S. has invested billions in sophisticated IT solutions with deep functionality. However, the lack of an efficient means to capture, store and access patient consent has severely hampered interoperability. Today, the process of patient consent remains largely paper based, resulting in unnecessary complexities, data sharing limitations and unnecessary costs.
The Challenge
Healthcare is one of the most information intensive industries in the world. Yet healthcare has been slow to fully embrace technology to exchange information which will result in efficient care delivery. Billions of dollars are being spent currently by all stakeholders to upgrade healthcare IT networks with state-of-the-art technologies. Providers such as Kaiser Permanente alone recently committed over $4 billion dollars on IT. Likewise, State governments are currently investing over $2 billion dollars on health information exchange initiatives with the Federal government spending in excess of $100 million. Their common objectives are to make patient health records more readily accessible at the time of treatment, thus improving the quality of patient care, reducing medical errors, avoiding unnecessary or repetitive procedures, and lowering overall system costs. One important common requirement is necessary to unlock the potential of digital Health Information Exchange … the consent of the patient.
YTC has the Solution
YTC has developed a secure, efficient, feature rich Electronic Consent Management (ECM) tool to replace current paper-based patient consent processes. YTC’s solution already factors in the needs of three highly influential and divergent groups.
Federal and State governments seek standardization, and more importantly, insist that any proposed solution can apply and scale to state and national network models (such as the National Health Information Network [NHIN] initiative within Health and Human Services [HHS]).
Providers require easy-to-integrate solutions that facilitate data flow, protect their IT investment, and enhance the patient experience.
Privacy Activists need assurance that patients’ legal rights are protected in the age of digital health information exchange.
YTC actively participates with influential individuals and agencies within all of these visable stakeholders.
