Change is coming but very slowly. There is a perfect storm on the horizon, being brought about by rising consumer demand (yes the patient), skyrocketing costs,shrinking capacity and an ageing boomer market demanding more and more services. The health system that was designed hundreds of years ago needs a life-line! There are bright pockets of hope all around the world including at home and we need to find ways to escalate both change and adoption.

presume your last sentence should read “Why Can’t we have this”??
Anyway, one thing you have left off your list and deserves your thoughts is “Electronic health records centered on the patient and managed by the patient”.
There’s a small revolution building around patient-centered IT and for healthcare, it is just beginning.
Our application, LifetimeHealthDiary, is the first of its kind, we think.
Want a test drive?
