Today 37% of the U.S. is vaccinated. But how do you verify that? What vaccine was given? How do you schedule follow ups? What about vaccinations for other diseases? Vaccine credentialing is one answer, but healthcare credentials issued by different organizations need to be consistent, interoperable, private, and secure. On today’s show, Ramesh Raskar, PhD, and Kris Joshi look at the present and future of healthcare credentialing, the challenges, and the opportunities for population health.
