Governments (United States, United Nations, as well as other developed and developing country Governments) are in a unique position to leverage and help direct some of the features of the System, while reaping many benefits (providing Whole Healthcare that is better, less expensive, available to more people in more places). Basically it helps meet the goals and principles for the care of all humans.

 

The System leverages off of existing and emerging technologies and products to solve issues and improve many areas that are typically supported by Governments (regulation, health and human services, Medicare, WHO, humanitarian and disaster relief, and other related efforts).

 

Although the System is designed to be “Market Driven”, Governments are likely to be the largest customers, either directly or through funded grants and programs involving Public-Private Partnerships. It would be beneficial to work with Governments to understand their needs to help streamline the process, buy-in to encourage the development of the System, and spur further innovation.

 

The System uses a number of common tools and interfaces that are used by the different development companies to build, test, deploy, and support their products on a common standardized System. The System can then be configured and tested across several “System in a Box” configurations to support different missions and further lower costs and improve the capabilities. The System is designed to support Localization, Nationalization, and Translation support, providing worldwide volumes of products and support being able to be provided in many different languages.

 

Some of the direct and indirect Government Use-Case Benefits related that can improve capabilities and reduce costs include:

 

General

• Less facility care requirements, better preventative care, better early detection, less expensive equipment and infrastructure, lower total cost of ownership, and process improvements

• Creates additional jobs at many different income levels, with a majority at a living wage with high personal satisfaction

• Supports multiple languages, customs, and adjusts for regional differences

• Providing better care, to more people, in more places, using less skilled individuals, at less cost, with fewer errors

• International participation and benefit

• Lowers the costs of Healthcare, while increasing capability, coverage, and care for individuals l

• Reduces requirements for highly trained individuals to be involved with certain medical testing, monitoring, and analysis and moves a lot of the work to technology

• Providing cost effective solutions for Contingency Planning, Disaster and Humanitarian Relief, and Service Outage Support

• Supports Common Object Interfaces and Methods which helps with any integration into Government Systems as well as speed up any regulatory approval for applicable new and updated devices, services, and applications

 

At Risk Populations (long and short term disabilities, age, homeless, etc.)

• Added safety

• Additional services at lower costs

• Service coordination and tracking

• Incorporation and leveraging off of Advocacy and Support Groups (and volunteers)

 

Home Health

• Allows individuals to stay in their homes longer providing low cost solutions for taking care of the elderly and the temporarily or permanently disabled

• Safety through passive and active monitoring (devices, activity, Postal APP, Services APP)

• Move better healthcare closer to individuals giving them the preventative and early detection care they need

 

Call Centers

• Low cost “cookie cutter” deployments from a menu of options

• Enhanced Traditional Call Center Services and Capabilities

• Support for different types of independent or combined Call Centers (home monitoring, medical facility and patient management, emergency and non-emergency  service coordination/tracking, logistics coordination and tracking, and fund raising)

• Incorporation of Call Center features (e.g. monitoring, scheduling, audit, alerts, escalation, etc.) into Retirement, Recovery, Convalescent, and Nursing Centers, Fixed Rural, Urban, and Neighborhood Clinics and Hospitals, Disaster Recovery/Humanitarian Relief, Social Advocacy Groups, and Technical Support)

 

Retirement, Recovery, Convalescent, and Nursing Centers

• Low cost “cookie cutter” deployments (with telemedicine backup) from a menu of options

• Better medical capabilities (examinations, baselines, monitoring, treatments, analysis)

• Move healthcare closer to individuals giving them the preventative and early detection care they need

• Empowering lower skilled individuals to perform more Healthcare Tasks (while reducing mistakes)

• Less expensive examinations and whole healthcare

• Incorporation of Telemedicine

• Process Improvements

 

Fixed and Mobile Rural, Urban, and Neighborhood Clinics and Hospitals

• Provides inexpensive Fixed and Mobile Cookie cutter deployments (new clinics, facility and capability expansion,  overflow management, capability and process improvements)

• Better medical capabilities (examinations, baselines, monitoring, treatments, analysis)

• Enable lower skilled individuals to perform more Healthcare Tasks (while reducing mistakes)

• Incorporation of Telemedicine

• Move healthcare closer to individuals giving them the preventative and early detection care they need

 

Shippable Clinics and Kits

• Provides inexpensive fixed and mobile cookie cutter deployments for prefab, shared space, and rapid deployment clinics

• Inexpensive fixed and mobile cookie cutter First Aid Stations (with telemedicine backup) for buildings, public events, etc.

• Inexpensive fixed and mobile cookie cutter First Aid Kits (with telemedicine backup) <luggable and easily to carry>

 

1st Responder Vehicles

• Provides inexpensive mobile cookie cutter deployments for prefab, shared space, and rapid response vehicles

Contingency Planning/Disaster Recovery/Humanitarian and Relief Efforts

• Provides inexpensive fixed and mobile cookie cutter deployments for prefab, shared space, and rapid deployment relief clinics

• Use of Call Center features to manage medical, service, logistics, and fundraising activities, with pre-loaded tasks and assignments by role

• Identification of individuals, their status, and services

• Public Information and Message Boards (with hotspots using satellite and regional backhauls)

• Incorporation of individual and agency-to-agency support for pre-trained and recruited volunteers (working onsite and remote)

• Incorporation of remote Healthcare professionals through telemedicine

• Incorporation of less trained individuals providing more assistance in their native language

• Identification of individuals that would have special needs in a disaster or outage

 

World Health Organization

• Access to more data and tools to quickly detect epidemics and pandemics in more location

• Ability to distribute special alerts and procedures to affected (or suspected areas)

• Ability to quickly respond and send needed equipment to locations

• Telemedicine (direct and case review)

 

FDA/Medical Trials:

• Common tested tools and features to assist in trial approvals

• Help to define what data needs to be collected

• Better auditable tracking of actions and results

• Better monitoring allowing for any issues to be caught sooner

• Better baseline (more complete with more factors) in the beginning of the trial and ability to compare during the trial

• Longer term (post-trial) automated collection and analysis of the data and patients
