Diagnostic and treatment procedures are exorbitantly expensive. Claims processes are shrouded in mystery. Critical patient data is fragmented and inaccessible. The health care industry is ripe for blockchain-inspired transformation, and SimplyVital Health is leading the charge.

诊断和治疗程序非常昂贵。索赔过程笼罩在神秘之中。关键的病人数据碎片化且不可访问。医疗保健行业已经成熟，可以进行区块链式的转型，而 SimplyVital Health 正在引领这一潮流。

The company—which would be part of a system where patients pay for outcomes rather than for procedures and doctor visits—will allow its customers to securely access all their medical records via their phone.

该公司将成为系统的一部分，在这个系统中，病人将为治疗结果付费，而不是为治疗过程和医生探访付费。

To promote such value-based care, co-founder and CEO Kat Kuzmeskas, co-founder and Chief Technology Officer Lucas Hendren and their team have created a network of tools for a new digital health care ecosystem. Their products will let patients, hospitals, doctors, insurers and pharmaceutical companies share medical information quickly and efficiently. And because the records will be stored on a blockchain, the data will be reliable and immutable.

为了推广这种基于价值的医疗服务，联合创始人兼首席执行官 Kat Kuzmeskas 、联合创始人兼首席技术官 Lucas Hendren 和他们的团队为新的数字医疗生态系统创建了一个工具网络。他们的产品将让病人、医院、医生、保险公司和制药公司快速有效地共享医疗信息。因为记录将存储在区块链上，所以数据将是可靠的和不可变的。

Health Nexus, one of the few open-source, public blockchain protocols compatible with federal privacy laws, is the software that connects health care players within the network. It lets developers build applications on the blockchain without having to worry about compliance issues. The company’s program uses blockchain as an audit trail to improve the end-to-end process of insurance reimbursement, including claims processing and payment distribution. In the product’s first four months, it has led to an average savings of $6,600 per patient for health care providers.

Health Nexus 是为数不多的兼容联邦隐私法的开源公共区块链协议之一，它是一款连接网络中医疗保健参与者的软件。它允许开发人员在区块链上构建应用程序，而不必担心遵从性问题。该公司的计划使用区块链作为审计线索，以改善端到端的保险报销流程，包括索赔处理和支付分发。在该产品推出的头四个月里，它为医疗服务提供者平均每个病人节省了6600美元。
