Since the beginning of the summer, more than a dozen organizations have committed their support to Flip 55, which helps patents access their medical records. Together, their commitment has the potential to reach 160 thousand clinicians and 20 million patients. Flip the Clinic’s presentation on stage at the White House’s Champions of Change event? We can credit the invitation to the extraordinary enthusiasm of these diverse organizations.
Over the next few weeks, we’ll be checking in with them to see how they’re planning to support patient access to health data. For now, here’s a peek at who’s in and what’s next.
The Extraordinary Commitments
