eHealthTrust was founded by nationally-recognized physicians and healthcare informaticians to ensure that the complete health records of patients are available anytime at any point of care, while enforcing the highest standards of patient privacy.

eHealthTrust is committed to offering free, comprehensive electronic health records for life and to providing financial assistance to participating physicians. eHealthTrust is establishing community-based Health Record Banks in major metropolitan areas in the U.S., in accordance with the guidelines set by the Health Record Banking Alliance.

A Health Record Bank is a consolidated data repository of patients' health records for a given community. This includes both the Electronic Medical Records generated by physicians and patients' own Personal Health Records.

eHealthTrust returns a significant portion of profits to the communities through partnerships. eHealthTrust also matches contributions to provide free data collection to disadvantaged patients.

eHealthTrust has patents pending for protection on certain key aspects of its core model including offering incentives for depositing data into patient's HRB accounts.

eHealthTrust is aggressively partnering with key vendors that already have an existing "piece of the puzzle." Contact us or call 888-669-1679.

Key personnel include:

Dr. William Yasnoff, M.D., Ph.D.
Founder
Dr. William Yasnoff has more than 30 years experience in Health Informatics with large scale electronic health information systems. He is an expert and leader in National Health Information Infrastructure (NHII) and is regarded as the father of Health Record Banking.

Dr. Yasnoff has utilized his combined medical and computer science training over the past 30+ years to repeatedly develop successful, large-scale, first-of-their kind, health information systems. Before starting eHealthTrust, he served as senior advisor for National Health Information Infrastructure at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) from 2002-2005. While at HHS, he initiated and organized the activities leading to the President’s creation of the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology in 2004, establishing electronic health & medical records for all Americans as a widely-recognized national goal that now has been allocated well over $20 billion in federal funding.

In the mid-1990s, he implemented Oregon's statewide immunization registry for children, the first system of its kind in the nation, which is still operating successfully today. He subsequently spent five years as Associate Director for Science, Public Health Practice Program Office, at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in Atlanta, helping to establish the new discipline of public health informatics, involving the application of electronic information systems to public health. While at CDC, he co-edited the textbook Public Health Informatics and Information Systems, which is still used today in schools of public health across the nation.

Dr. Yasnoff is also the founder and CEO of the non-profit Health Record Banking Alliance (started in 2006), a national organization that promotes community repositories of electronic health information under individual consumer control. He earned his Ph.D. in computer science and M.D. from Northwestern, received an honorary doctorate in public health from the University of Louisville in 2006, and was elected a Fellow of the American College of Medical Informatics in 1989.

Brad Tritle

He has held leadership positions with U.S. and multi-national companies and Arizona state agencies.

That means, he makes eHealthTrust work seamlessly! With 20 years of experience in clinical medicine, clinician administration and health information management, including 13 years at Scottsdale Healthcare, Ed’s experience “in the trenches” has thoroughly acquainted him with what clinicians need, how they want it presented, and how to organize it within a health record.

Richard Troy
Chief Technical Officer
Richard Troy brings more than 30 years of computational technology experience, both academic and commercial, to his role as chief technical officer for eHealthTrust. Richard’s experience is unusually broad and deep. His breadth and insight having been gained through his role as chief scientist for Science Tools Corporation and through his various consulting capacities for other firms. His significant technical depth was gained by remaining hands-on with architectural work, programming, and day-to-day systems management throughout his career. Richard created the world’s first “grid computing” system and the world’s only turn-key, heterogenous grid computing system and has several patents granted and pending. Richard comes to eHealthTrust because he wondered aloud – in a 1997 business plan – about patient-managed patient records as a future step for Science Tools Corporation, which he founded to commercialize his research at UC Berkeley. When Richard met Dr. William Yasnoff, the course was set.

Tom Jackson, MBA
Chief Marketing Officer
You might say healthcare runs in Tom Jackson’s family. With a dad who was an internal medicine specialist, a nurse for a mom, and two doctor brothers, Tom can’t get away from medicine. But always wanting to be different, Tom went the business route – with a hint of healthcare. So for the past 30 years, Tom has been involved in marketing, sales, branding, and business development with both small and large companies, including CompuServe, Fujitsu, American Medical Association Network for Physicians, and Intel. His expertise also includes building four successful emerging-growth, technology-based businesses.
