In the health care industry, it is vital that care is given efficiently and effectively by qualified practitioners. As many procedures are highly skilled, a great number of qualifications are required to perform them.

Costs of ensuring compliance can be high and time consuming - ensuring a medical practitioner has the correct certifications is vital. However, sometimes providing care in a timely manner is time-critical, particularly in life threatening circumstances.

In other times, the remoteness of a health care centre or hospital can make building trust in certifications difficult, and waste valuable resources available to that community.

By using verifiable credentials, complex scenarios can be made easy and efficient for visiting practitioners, by allowing them to provide irrefutable proof of credentials immediately.

Objective Enable a hospital to verify the credentials of a visiting practicioner.

Actors Visiting medical practicioner
