This project was inspired by an RFP issued by NY State OMH to delveop a Independent Practice Association (IPA) for Peer Support Workers. See the Wiki for the RFP.
I believe the associated RPF is fundamentally a software and data sharing issue. I'd like to get some people to help me fix it.
Some ideas: This project can also be used to enhance the PSYCKES which is a HIPAA-compliant web-based application designed to support clinical decision making, care coordination, and quality improvement in New York State. (and should be made opensource to benefit the entire world and build trust and security).
2crow A 2 party escrow system for bitcoin. How it could help: 2crow allows a payment to be posted to an escrow account by a buyer, but cannot be collected by the seller until the buyer confirms they have recieved the product or service.
Merkle Trust Services Noncustodial multisignature trust management services How it could help: This is system for a multi-party signature to authorize something. If the parties include the client, the PCP, the specialist, the Local Government Unit (LGU), the State, the Federal Government, and maybe a Mental Health Court Judge; then protocals to release information, money, programs, or services could be securely shared with authorization among them.
Coin-Vote Block-chain verified vote tally service How it could help: A block chain voting record to log decisions, and actions.

Can "Corporation Soles" be formed by each "Peer"? https://dos.ny.gov/system/files/documents/2021/02/1511-f.pdf Not-for-Profit Incorporation Instructions https://dos.ny.gov/system/files/documents/2018/12/1511-inst.pdf How it could help: Many grants are only avaialble to not-for-profit organizations. However, many Peers can't or won't work for these Agencies, and are not willing or able to deal with the accounting and record keeping requirements to form their own non-profit. A Corporation Sole is the Non-Profit (NP) equivilant of a Sole Proprietorship. It would be a simple way to provide direct funding to Peer workers.
UCC and other "rules" Reader? https://dos.ny.gov/system/files/documents/2021/01/xmlguide.pdf How it could help: There are a lot of rules to follow. The UCC rules reader is an example of a software based rules system.

I don't really know how to make apps and have only basic web coding skills. If you know how to develop this project as an opensource software, jump in.
