Organization Details

We make Healthcare information accessible and useful for 8,000 users in Latin America. Our main objective: improving life expectancy and quality for every Latin American patient. We created the first Latin HIPAA-Compliant EHR platform, 20/20, to harbor over 50,000,000 patient records in 5 years and to use Big Data as a tool for accelerating regional development.

Impact Story

Electronic Health Records (EHR) are among the recommended measures to be adopted by medical practitioners to reduce the level of medical error, adverse error, communication problems and infringement of the patient's privacy in Latin America.

With 20/20, we aim to positively impact our region in 3 ways:

Improve patient healthcare quality: we improve outcome in 1 out of 10 hospitalization cases in Latin America, including the prevention of 3 deaths for every 100 cases;

Reduce Healthcare Investment and Waste: 79% of physicians consider using a EHR Platform increases healthcare quality and efficiency by, among others, preventing unnecessary study repetition, 9 MM tons of yearly paper waste and disposable material and medicine theft;

Create the first Latin American Big Data repository: Latin American Population Health can be created using real-time, currenty information of what’s happening in the region, which can effectively prevent epidemics and report endemic pathologies to be addressed by governments, NGOs and multilateral organizations.
