Organizing healthcare information is a daunting task, but it is not an impossible task. We've had people walk on the moon. This is a lot more doable.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Providing health care is like building a house. The task requires experts, expensive equipment and materials, and a huge amount of coordination.
Healthcare is becoming part of information technology.
What we're really trying to do is level out the health care system. It has gotten so one-sided as more and more people have been put into managed care; in fact, about 70 percent of the patients in the country.
Electronic medical records are, in a lot of ways, I think the aspect of technology that is going to revolutionize the way we deliver care. And it's not just that we will be able to collect information, it's that everyone involved in the healthcare enterprise will be able to use that information more effectively.
Patients are empowered by having better access to their own health information, and then by owning their own data.
Privacy with medical information is a fallacy. If everyone's information is out there, it's part of the collective.
As a physician, I understand how important it is to collect data on people so we can understand what's happening with them. I will be in the position to help enable that knowledge.
We all want more information available when making health care decisions for ourselves and our families.
It's the age of information and we need to just get as informed as we can about what other things might help us live healthy lives.
One of the biggest challenges to medicine is the incorporation of information technology in our practices.
