At least 1 / 3 of Americans uninsured. This figure was impacted by the lack of access to quality health care. Is that half of the known health insurance provided through employment. With today’s society, some jobs do not offer health care to high insurance costs. With the increasing loss of jobs, access to health care has become a hassle and a lot of Americans are unable to find affordable health care. As long as health is a privilege in this country and not a right, is the welfare of Americans subject to health disparities than before. The U. S. Department of Health Healthy People 2010 has set the improvement of the main health indicators in the country, is dedicated to the initiative of promoting the principle that, regardless of age, sex, race or ethnicity, income and social status, every access the same application and should have all the facilities of the country.

Unfortunately, according to The Wall Street Journal, the absence of more than 46 million Americans have adequate health insurance and the numbers are higher than ever. If the first indicator for Healthy People 2010 to improve access to health services, for this is that most Americans still can not access to care? Insurance prices are rising is, Medicaid and Medicare system more and more a story of Shaggy Dog, the insurance company. Elderly people who can not be assured, and too little has been done to facilitate access to health insurance for the elderly. The elderly are left behind and forced to get insurance to cover and sometimes a guarantee for health services. The older ones are rejected for health insurance from the government and it is unacceptable that a man strives to have 65 years or women in this country health insurance. Applications are rejected for the elderly health insurance, but should generally for older people without health insurance who have problems. What is happening in the system U. S. Health Care? Where is the right for our elderly and usually secondary to take care of our children? Medicaid rates are deducted from our salary, but if we go into retirement, there is Medicaid for our generation. What will the government do to change this growing? It ‘a wonder for all health systems to take basic health community for people who need medical help to see help. These systems, improve health, are ready, people can have on a scale of prices they pay for health services provided.

I personally welcome the San Jose Mercy Care Services for the homeless and the poor and care to provide access to the community’s attention to Atlanta on a scale of prices so that everyone can care. Our government should take into account in our health care system up close and find a way to do justice to all, with the creation or promotion of more community services across the country. The government should reduce the cost of care and have a fixed interest rate with the insurance companies, the tariff revision should allow each person access to adequate insurance. Therefore, everyone should have access to health services without delay. Pre-existing conditions should be banned and individual support should a question of everyone in this country. If our goal is to eliminate health disparities, we need to get people the care of conditions that are currently without a waiting period of one year prior to treatment. It ‘important that people in health decisions for a better resolution can be taken as included. I think everyone has the right to treatment, I believe that the provision of health services for the uninsured, we are as a nation on the road to eliminating health disparities. Our mission is to provide quality health care for people without access to insurance as appropriate. Our goal should be to alleviate health disparities by the poor and for all.

A powerful country like the United States of America must be the priority of health. We have great technology, great doctors, but a system of ill health. In Europe, health is a right for European citizens. The government covers health services, no age requirements, no restrictions, no waiting and no provision of pre-existing condition. The insurance premium is taken from the paycheck of every person on an annual basis. This sum is applied to the cost of medical services. Health is not a privilege but a right. Who is employed or unemployed, must have the proper insurance coverage. Health should not be a political issue, but a fundamental right for all Americans. It ‘time for the government to study the reform of our health care insurance and offer health for all. Private insurance companies must be established for non-citizens and visitors. Our finding that Americans should have a better health for all and every danger. With the economy down, it is essential that people decide what is best for Americans, but not for the government. If the health plan that President Obama has proposed, as it should be spread, can be used on the road to universal health care, many do not want.

Needless to say, that health reform is of crucial importance for the health of Americans. The burden of the loss of jobs and lack of funding will bring more diseases than ever before. The fact is that people on what to eat or drink, so you spend sleepless nights thinking about the next step and how to cover the tuition fees for their children or even pay the mortgage interest. All these thoughts have a major impact on the overall health of many. So if no insurance for those who are unemployed, it is expected, then we can expect that the burden faced by deaths due to this desperate situation is very critical of our nation to bear. I am very pleased with the approval of the proposed health care reform can not wait, high expectations, and we hope the government does not disappoint us. In the midst of what is said about the new bill to increase insurance premiums and taxes, it should be and I wonder how this will affect all of us. However, we keep our fingers crossed and hope for the better? As the CEO to the attention of children, Jeannette used role-playing games, the strategies of empowerment and children’s books to promote health, to prevent the spread of infection and to build healthy relationships among children. And ‘the inspiration of the author of numerous mini-book series on the supply of knowledge on prevention and healthy living with this type of infectious and chronic diseases such as asthma, diabetes, hepatitis, HIV / AIDS, obesity, often tuberculosis, salmonella, among others.

A window of opportunity now for investors and managers of health-direct and dominate a new niche in healthcare IT interoperability and data exchange. But, as Abraham Lincoln once said: “There may be those who wait, but only those things that quickly left.” As a physician executive recruiter represents my experience in conducting medical missions over 225 executive search firms for a slightly different perspective on many issues important to high growth. We hope that this point of view of internal discussions will benefit the company as its strategies for developing new health data interoperability and exchange opportunities to say goodbye. The window of opportunity has been created by a perfect storm. Increases consumer awareness and interest, debtors and suppliers willing to participate in discussions, are adopting the technology has increased, and stimulate spending bill of $ 2B participation from all sides. To be successful, healthcare IT managers and investors have a range of complex strategic considerations in the pursuit of this new window of opportunity.

Health officer to take action and profit from this point those are the business approach with a focus on the customer too far: the technology is not the business. The technology enables the company. But even with a lot of questions for investors outside of the managers to concentrate. An important question is: “What kind of management team to lead this company?” The answer is “it depends”. Depending on how you answer the following questions. First, however, the scope of his thinking on technology, architecture, intuitive and simple. Many investors and managers want to focus too much on technology. Prior to this common trap, remember the many examples of great technologies that never see the light of day. Alternatively, look at Facebook, without a doubt one of the most popular platforms for today’s technology, with millions of new members per month. Mark Zuckerberg is still a project on the Facebook platform in the world of standardized communication. He sees the site as an interactive, lively and very intuitive, as his old phone. Facebook users do not choose technology. But the new Facebook users intuitively how to respond to personal and professional needs, such as sharing family photos to catch up with old friends, sharing information, jobs, company jobs, etc. What has this to do with health? The answer is simple. Cook the technology and consumer needs in providing useful and intuitive. Do this and you differentiate your business and lay the foundations for rapid growth.

The following is a basic strategic considerations:

Check investors: Building a technology company or service? I’m going to cheat and give you the answer, offered to build a technology company. Who are your customers? Who pays? It can not be all of the door and must coincide with the consumer acceptance. How to organize the priorities of their company offerings and customers? Note that there is today only a few focused on interoperability company achieve success at every level of the state approved: City Medes and axolotls are two. Why are more successful than the competition?

View customers: Consumers know if the doctor uses EMR? You have access to the Internet to your personal data? The consumers know if the hospital will probably need to use an EMR and integrated with your doctor? Did it matter? What the consumer cares about us? Who has access to and ownership of data on consumers’ health and what happens when a loss of privacy? The consumer does not feel “The data are 100% sure” of the discussion. Government has also many losses and remember that the Titanic was unsinkable. Consumers have a personal health record (PHR) has? You want to keep a PHR? Do you prefer self-administered or managed care? Consider online banking. Perhaps the PHR interoperability is near?

Provider View: Providers may face in ensuring that the health information of patients is safe and private? Suppliers will be suspended if the information is lost to the consumer at any point in the cycle. E ‘to facilitate the interoperability of patients to a practice / clinic to dispense with a competitor? Rate of adoption: Providers should recognize that the rate is the introduction of rules for the identification and evaluation of the implementation, so why buy in comparison to wait for greater clarity in the plan? Align incentives: Most of the suppliers are required to cover a substantial part of the implementation of the technology and operational costs. However, pharmacies and insurance companies make huge profits. Who has the burden and how much? You can get more recipients to the table to discuss investment and development and ongoing operating costs?

Explore the employees: egg or the chicken: Do you offer a solution for taxpayers with large limbs and high PMPM (per member per month) costs or offer a solution and high profits for the suppliers? Confidence and confidentiality: John Q. Public trust of taxpayers as a guardian of personal data. Taxpayers have access to patient data, but states that now have direct access to the results of all patient care and outcomes? How to educate and provide a meaningful debate about electronic records and HIE and large companies, where many large companies, or even ask to learning, disease management services?

In the last two weeks, as the legislation is over, I have spoken with more than fifty investors, managers and brokers of health on health data exchange and interoperability. No one has all the answers, although many players operating profit, governmental and non-profit in this market. But one thing is certain. The fast-moving companies to discuss the issues most critical to these assumptions and, finally, to achieve maximum success.
