The power of integration

This post to those not specialist in healthcare neither medical work at all. I got many emails talking about the general benefits of healthcare system integration regardless technical and professional terms; in this post I am going to explain how medical system integration would change whole process of medical work and carries numerous benefits toward receiver ( patients) and medical workers. Integration of healthcare system means simply we put all medical providing services in one current processing road could later are branched to sub operating unites depending on the sort of medical services demanded from public. The road took different names; X-road, phantom data, X-Take off, but these names doing the same function; this road work as reservoir and data stock with main information processing platform to other service unites. Moreover; hospitals, medical providers, poly-clinics and,…etc all depending on the role of this data platform. This the basic form of integration and the methods to fulfil a grid of different unites together in the main data source differ among countries according to facilities and ability to fund integration network projects.

The consequences of integration should be known and defined according to new pattern of work performance among medical service suppliers:

Enable centralization: the 1^st result of integration networking is centralize the services and enable multiple function unites in order to save the time and effort of the public and from other side decrease the administration expenditures were before load on government and care insurance fund institutions.

Reduction of human errors& resource allocation: any state economics strategies depending mainly on two model of work; 1^st working to increase expenditures and 2^nd working for investment on the level of state. I mention that because reduction of human errors will close main gate of maintenance and fixation funds have been used to correct errors. These funds are not small funds and redirect them to improve and research. Thus; open the opposite way to exaggerate the resource allocation depending on efficiency and final yield.

Products sharing& better resource utilization: means serving many society segments and demands through the same or less working unites or providers. That make better maximization of medical services within the same administration unite moreover; better resource allocation among society and fulfilment of proper service utilization.

Enhance certainty of best care provision: when as physician or specialist gives service you actually know little about what going to regarding final results because simply the same medication give different results among patients. But when you work through integrated networks, you easily can define the similar case and identify the results wave of improvement could reach formerly.

Private viewpoint; the medical integrated systems make patients and their welfare under microscope with much less effort and administration work. My real dream is that all medical services going to be integrated with grids to facilitate the process in front of patients who really need our effort to make their lives better. Full health J
