Key's to Successful Changes in Healthcare Delivery Models
The key to successful healthcare reform is to concentrate on how we deliver care rather than how we pay for it.
Affordable universal access requires a delivery system that provides care using both physicians and non-physicians
Routine follow-up for chronic conditions can be safely and efficiently managed by non-physicians
Prevention and wellness services, activities that improve patient outcomes and reduce costs, can be managed by non-physicians
Non-physicians become multipliers for health care, and make universal access possible
The solution will allow non-physicians to operate within a defined safety range, directing them to engage physician skills in a timely and focused manner
This solution now exists today: an innovative, evidence-based artificial intelligence (AI) program developed by Lifecom, Inc., a Portland, Oregon company. Easy to use by non-physicians, it empowers them to safely manage less complicated patients in a way not possible with any existing electronic health records. This is because the Lifecom product is a health care managing system, not a passive recording system.
