An insightful article in Health Data Management by Jared Jeffery, MBA, FACHDM, Fellow of the American College of Health Data Management and CEO of healthKERI, and Philip Feairheller, CTO of healthKERI, discusses the critical need for trust in the source of incoming health data. It highlights a powerful point: "The implications of what GLEIF has quietly accomplished reach far beyond the financial sector. For the first time, the world has access to a framework for organizational ID that can be cryptographically trusted. This represents a milestone in the march towards a more secure internet. If we seize the moment, it also means a more secure healthcare ecosystem. The vLEI enables organizations to use non-repudiable digital signatures on their data exchange. (…) In other words, businesses can now prove their data." Imagine a future where every piece of data is verified, every transaction secure, and trust is integral to our digital world. The verifiable Legal Entity Identifier (vLEI) from GLEIF aims to establish a foundation of trust across industries, from finance to healthcare. Read the article to explore how the vLEI is paving the way for a more secure, reliable digital ecosystem. 📖 https://lnkd.in/dmJ5knQp #GLEIF #vLEI #DigitalTrust #DataSecurity #Healthcare #Innovation #DigitalTransformation #HealthData
