Seven Solutions to Healthcare Reform (Part 5 of 7)

In the past four editions of this series, we explored the opportunity for using updated technology as a solution to the ever-increasing cost of healthcare. Within the second segment, we discussed providing consumers access to their information, in order to enable them to take more control of their own health and well-being, rather than the information and data existing in the mainframes and server farms of large insurance companies. The third issue we analyzed, was using technology to empower the patient to assume more control of their health. We proposed […]

Seven Solutions to Healthcare Reform (Part 4 of 7)

By: Charity Darby | Tags:

In the past three editions of this blog series, we discussed the opportunity we have in healthcare to use more technology to solve the ever-increasing cost of healthcare. In the second blog, we discussed what to do with accessing that information, not only in the mainframes and server farms of large insurance companies, but also by providing consumers access to their data so they can take control of their own health and well-being. In our third blog, we discussed how actually using technology to put the patient in control of […]

Seven Solutions to Healthcare Reform (Part 3 of 7)

By: Charity Darby | Tags:

In the previous two parts of the Seven Solutions to Healthcare Reform, we discussed the opportunity we have in healthcare to use more technology to solve the ever increasing cost of healthcare. Several blogs ago, we pointed out that healthcare was ranked next to last place of the top 10 industries in America – that is of course if you measure the investment in technology-dollars per employee. Only, the food-processing industry came in last place. However, we have not seen any updated reports. We would hope that healthcare would have […]

The Seven Solutions (Part 2)

By: Charity Darby | Tags:

We enter the New Year with optimism for healthcare, and we continue with our series of potential healthcare reform ideas for the post ObamaCare era. We still believe that ObamaCare will effectively be replaced in the next couple of years. Additionally, we hope that many aspects of the Affordable Care Act of 2010 (ACA or ObamaCare) will survive. However, we are convinced that we need more than a new ACA. The ACA has practically done nothing to control cost, nor have they made healthcare in the U.S. more consumer friendly. […]

Breaking News and Commentary- Dr. Tomas E Price, M.D.

By: Charity Darby | Tags:

We interrupt our current PWeR News blog series, Seven Solutions to Healthcare Reform to discuss President-elect Trump’s announcement on November 28, 2016, of his nomination of Thomas E Price, M.D. as Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). To put this in perspective, HHS manages both the Medicare and Medicaid programs in the United States and correspondingly has the single largest budget of any department in the U.S. government of just over $1 trillion (USD) with an active workforce of over 80,000 employees. Since 2004, Dr. […]

Seven Solutions to Healthcare Reform (Part 1 of 7)

By: Charity Darby | Tags:

In our last blog, “ObamaCare | Epilogue Part 2” we ended with seven solutions for healthcare reform. There are certainly many more than seven things that we can do to reform healthcare; however, as we mentioned in the last blog, healthcare is extremely complicated and a change in one area has a ripple effect throughout as we’ve seen happen with the Affordable Care Act. We must start with a view of the entire landscape of healthcare, and the seven solutions provide us this high altitude view so that we can then make […]

ObamaCare | Epilogue (Part 2)

By: Charity Darby | Tags:

The U.S. presidential elections have passed, and as noted in previous blogs, we believed that regardless of which candidate prevailed, we would be facing a tectonic shift in healthcare in the U.S. and, it would seem, in the world. We ended Part 1 of this 2-part blog noting that we expected foreseeable “tectonic events” that would be driving forces in healthcare for the next decade. The first earthquake happened around 3AM Eastern Standard Time on Wednesday, November 9th. The world watched with amazement, some with positive anticipation, and others in […]

ObamaCare | Epilogue (Part 1)

By: Charity Darby | Tags:

On the eve of the what is likely one of the most momentous Presidential elections in our nation’s history, we will indulge ourselves one last time with an analytical and editorial look back at “ObamaCare”, or as it correctly named, the Affordable Care Act of 2010 (ACA). In our recently blogs, we opined on the relative impact on healthcare going forward with the election of Secretary Hillary Clinton or Mr. Donald Trump. We took for granted that the ACA will pass into history. In summary, we believe that if Clinton […]

Clinton vs. Trump 2016: Healthcare (Part 4 of 4)

By: Charity Darby | Tags:

In the previous three blogs we have attempted to set a baseline and then review the basic public policy platform of both Secretary Clinton and Mr. Trump regarding our national healthcare policy going forward. Based on more than a quarter-century in healthcare we believe that there will be an impact on healthcare as a result of the election. However, we believe that the biggest impact to healthcare will be from things that neither presidential candidate can fundamentally change. Looking back over the last eight years of President Obama’s term, it […]
