Collaborative Healthcare Solutions and BurstIQ Announce Partnership for Blockchain-based Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Reporting

CHS’s Mandatory Reporting Tools will Leverage BurstIQ’s Blockchain-based Platform to Improve Data Security and Enable Real-time Sharing Between Healthcare Systems and Law Enforcement

LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESSWIRE / May 10, 2018 / Collaborative Healthcare Solutions (CHS) and BurstIQ, Inc. announced today a partnership to develop a next-generation digitized reporting solution for emergency medical providers and other mandatory reporters. The new proprietary blockchain-based data platform will allow CHS to securely manage highly sensitive health data and enable seamless and secure data sharing between health systems, law enforcement and other responding agencies.

CHS’s flagship product, Domestic Violence Report and Referral (DVRR), significantly improved ER-based mandatory reporting rates in a large multi-site pilot. In February, the company launched a digital Sexual Assault reporting tool for the State of California in partnership with several state agencies.

CHS is currently developing a comprehensive platform for all interpersonal violence reports, including domestic violence and sexual assault. Incorporating BurstIQ’s proprietary blockchain-based data platform will ensure that personal health data is managed in a highly secure environment and that critical information can be seamlessly shared between health systems, law enforcement and other responding agencies.

“When it comes to domestic violence and sexual assault, the ability to quickly and securely share information with health systems, law enforcement agencies and support services is absolutely critical to the victim’s privacy and safety,” says JP Ziegler, CEO of CHS. “The BurstIQ platform allows us to securely share highly sensitive information in real time without compromising victims’ privacy.”

BurstIQ’s CEO, Frank Ricotta, commented, “CHS has created an absolutely invaluable solution for supporting the needs of mandatory reporters, law enforcement agencies and, most importantly, victims. CHS is saving lives and we are proud to be partnering with them.”
