Health care providers are finding new ways to access and share patient information to improve patient care while reducing overall cost of doing so. In this presentation and API management software demonstration, we'll explore how APIs help core health care share services and information securely across mobile devices and other channels to improve overall experience and quality of healthcare. While analogous to API work in the mainstream, dealing with healthcare APIs present several distinct challenges, which we will discuss and demonstrate: - HIPAA compliance and data encryption for mobile apps - OAuth and role-based data access privileges. - Continuity of care through integration of data across multiple systems - API aspects of data security for electronic medical records

2. The State of Healthcare
• Total U.S. health expenditures is $2.6T (2010) and is expected to rise
to $4.8T by 2021
• The United States spent more than 17% of its GDP on health care
• Around 30% of all health care spending in the U.S. or more than
$750B per year is wasted
• 75% of all health care dollars are spent on patients with one or more
chronic conditions, many of which can be prevented
