How would you like to see a new health care information system, working in conjunction with the present medical system, that would reduce disease levels and health care costs initially by over 40% and eventually likely near twice that? Of course most of us would like such a program. Even though the changes sound to radical to be true, fortunately, it’s for real. Such a system does indeed have a very sound basis in fact as spelled out in a book titled Vibrant Health Plus: The Real Medical Revolution and in the articles we will be discussing here. These revolutionary advances are possible through a completely new application of advanced technology. Many outstanding accomplishments have been attributed to the computer, but they will all pale in comparison to its beneficial effects on human health if this approach to information processing is allowed to develop.
We may well think that if such a system was in fact available then it would be presented to us through the medical industry–not from outside it.
Unfortunately, this new proposed application of technology has been available but is continually being bypassed by the present medical system. We must keep in mind that not only does preventative medicine generate relatively limited income, but a full-blown preventative health care system as advocated here, would drastically cut into the huge present day profits of the medical establishment. When you consider the possibility of such a system the most important question that come to mind is, on what possible basis could such a system be based? The answer to that question is through the use of clinical laboratory science and the latest in computer technology. But, why clinical laboratory science? Regardless of how sophisticated a computer system design may be, if it is not based on good solid input data, the output will be very limited at best. In this case, the source of the data is not only rock solid, but in fact one of the system’s strongest points. You couldn’t have a better source of relevant data on which to build a successful health care information system. » Read more: New Health Care System: Core Elements
