Telemedicine …Reduces days/1000 patients and physician visits for the chronically illDecreases costs of managing chronic diseaseExpands service areas for providersReduces travel costs to and from medical ed seminarsDouglas Goldstein, e-Healthcare
“Our entire facility is digital. No paper, no film, no medical records. Nothing. And it’s all integrated—from the lab to X-ray to records to physician order entry. Patients don’t have to wait for anything. The information from the physician’s office is in registration and vice versa. The referring physician is immediately sent an email telling him his patient has shown up. … It’s wireless in-house. We have 800 notebook computers that are wireless. Physicians can walk around with a computer that’s pre-programmed. If the physician wants, we’ll go out and wire their house so they can sit on the couch and connect to the network. They can review a chart from 100 miles away.” —David Veillette, CEO, Indiana Heart Hospital (HealthLeaders/12.2002)

“Without being disrespectful, I consider the U.S. healthcare delivery system the largest cottage industry in the world.There are virtually no performance measurements and no standards.Trying to measure performance … is the next revolution in healthcare.”Richard Huber, former CEO, Aetna

PARADOX: Many, many formal case reviews … failure to systematically/ systemically/ statistically look at and act on evidence.C.f., Complications, Atul Gawande
“Practice variation is not caused by ‘bad’ or ‘ignorant’ doctors. Rather, it is a natural consequence of a system that systematically tracks neither its processes nor its outcomes, preferring to presume that good facilities, good intentions and good training lead automatically to good results. Providers remain more comfortable with the habits of a guild, where each craftsman trusts his fellows, than with the demands of the information age.”Michael Millenson, Demanding Medical Excellence
“As unsettling as the prevalence of inappropriate care is the enormous amount of what can only be called ignorant care. A surprising 85% of everyday medical treatments have never been scientifically validated. … For instance, when family practitioners in Washington were queried about treating a simple urinary tract infection, 82 physicians came up with an extraordinary 137 strategies.”Demanding Medical Excellence: Doctors and Accountability in the Information Age, Michael Millenson
