When a person enters an ER and the attending physician suspects that the patient is a victim of domestic violence or sexual assault, the physician is required to submit certain information to the authorities – much of which is highly sensitive personal and medical data. Historically, this process has been managed with paper and fax machines, leading to incomplete or lost reports, misinterpretations of handwritten data, delays in response time, HIPAA violations, and underreporting.

BurstIQ recently announced a partnership with Collaborative Healthcare Solutions, an innovative digital health company that has digitized the mandatory reporting process for cases of domestic violence and sexual assault. Their solution improved ER-based mandatory reporting rates by 300% in a large multi-site pilot.

Using BurstChain^TM as the foundational data platform behind their reporting application ensures that:

• victims’ personal health data is managed in a highly secure, HIPAA-compliant environment
• information is shared with the appropriate agencies immediately and automatically, reducing administrative overhead and improving agencies’ ability to respond quickly
• each responding agency receives the specific details they need (and only those details) in order to respond to the case

At BurstIQ, we are committed to enabling innovative developers like Collaborative Healthcare Solutions build products and services that go far beyond what is possible with conventional data platforms.
