Resilient Trust Networks Drives the Adoption of Open Services Architecture, in Utah, for a Health Trust Network

Resilient Trust Networks announced today it is launching a trust network in the state of Utah, with the Fourth Street Clinic in downtown Salt Lake City. This network will serve as a model for the rest of the nation enabling continuity and coordination of care, secure messaging for scheduling and referrals, collaborative case management, disease management, medication adherence, patient access, patient safety and surveillance, medical research, and protection from medical identity theft and claims fraud.

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) November 9, 2008 -- Resilient Trust Networks announced today it is launching a trust network in the state of Utah, with the Fourth Street Clinic in downtown Salt Lake City. This network will serve as a model for the rest of the nation enabling continuity and coordination of care, secure messaging for scheduling and referrals, collaborative case management, disease management, medication adherence, patient access, patient safety and surveillance, medical research, and protection from medical identity theft and claims fraud.

The initial trust network will focus on coordination of care, case management and disease management for safety-net patients, enabling on-demand personal health networks that provide seamless, secure and convenient sharing of fragmented health information by the patient and all of their clinicians and authorized caregivers. The pilot will demonstrate the ability to improve healthcare outcomes, lower healthcare delivery and coordination costs, and improve convenience for patients, providers and payers.

One of the fundamental goals of the Utah Trust Network, Fourth Street Clinic demonstration pilot, is to prove that an unaffiliated network of regional health care providers can freely exchange, access and share health information while maintaining full patient privacy

We did this by leveraging many third-party products which were integrated with the Resilient Trust Network in less than 30 days. More than 30 partners are providing an array of trust services for authentication, identity, verification, audit and consent - confirming the value of an Open Services Architecture within a real world setting.

The trick is to hide all the complexity

We want to show that it's possible for people to share their data while still controlling it. It all sounds like buzzwords, but in practical terms it means individuals can say who can see what -- and trust that their wishes will be observed.

We have been collaborating with Resilient Trust Networks on delivering access to health information while maintaining full patient privacy through the integration of Intel® SOA Expressway, the trust network, and the Fourth Street Clinic's electronic medical record systems

Our goal is to provide the enabling SOA backbone and to work hand-in-hand with Resilient to roll-out the trust network model through other similar initiatives.

I was attracted to Resilient Networks because it represents a breakthrough in the historical Achilles heel of all security systems… key management

I personally believe Resilient has the key to medical information systems

The trust network will provide a framework for secure interoperability supporting the Intel® SOA Expressway product and 30 other partners with different services and technologies, so any user or vendor can collaborate over an open services trust network to provide best-of-breed services to patients.

"The trick is to hide all the complexity," said Esther Dyson, Chairman of EDventure Holdings and an investor in Resilient. "We want to show that it's possible for people to share their data while still controlling it. It all sounds like buzzwords, but in practical terms it means individuals can say who can see what -- and trust that their wishes will be observed."

"We have been collaborating with Resilient Trust Networks on delivering access to health information while maintaining full patient privacy through the integration of Intel® SOA Expressway, the trust network, and the Fourth Street Clinic's electronic medical record systems," said Girish Juneja, director of SOA Products, Intel Software and Services Group. "Our goal is to provide the enabling SOA backbone and to work hand-in-hand with Resilient to roll-out the trust network model through other similar initiatives."

"I was attracted to Resilient Networks because it represents a breakthrough in the historical Achilles heel of all security systems… key management," says Dr. Eric Haseltine, Chief Scientist of Resilient Networks and former Associate Director of National Intelligence for Science and Technology.

"I personally believe Resilient has the key to medical information systems," said Bill Coleman, Founder/CEO and Chairman of Cassatt Corporation and founder of BEA Systems. "This is a problem whose time has come and the next administration could really put it on the front burner. I believe that every other approach to solving this problem has one or more of the following three fatal problems: 1) privacy & security are not guaranteed, 2) health care data must be centralized and/or integrated if not transformed or re-created, and 3) business models (economics) are compromised on one or more of the traditional stakeholders in the medical value chain. Resilient has solved all of these problems, created a neutral value-added network, and demonstrated its validity in Utah and will be starting in other areas."

"Establishing and managing online trust is critical to the wide scale deployment of Internet-based healthcare services, said Brett McDowell, executive director, Liberty Alliance. We salute the teams involved in building and deploying the Utah Trust Network for providing patients and providers with a trusted environment for conducting identity-enabled transactions based on Liberty Interoperable technologies and open, secure and privacy-respecting SAML 2.0 standards."

About Resilient Trust Networks
The Resilient Trust Network is a new class of internet infrastructure that shifts control of data access from organizations and software applications to the owners of the data.
