98,000 people die in hospitals each year as a result of medical errors. What would happen to your child if a medical emergency arises and access to their medical history was required?
United States of America (Press Release) November 12, 2007 --
As US citizens we enjoy one of the finest healthcare systems in the world. Yet according to the Institute of Medicine (2002 report) as many as 98,000 people die in hospitals each year as a result of medical errors. That’s more than the deaths attributable to auto accidents, breast cancer and AIDS combined.
If someone had to take your child or a family member for emergency care could they provide the doctor with a complete medical history? Chances are…probably not! A lack of information opens the door to the risk of medical errors that could be life threatening. You need to be able to take your family’s medical history and information with you and make it available to anyone who might need it. But how?
One physician, Dr. Julian Huang, pediatrician believes he has the answer. He is offering an on-line medical “toolkit” to assist his patients in becoming more proactive and involved in their healthcare. ”Regardless of age or finances, your health is the most important asset you have. To blindly delegate your health management to another individual simply makes no sense” urges Dr. Huang.
He stresses to his patients that preparing and knowing answers to medical histories can improve the care received and greatly reduce the chance for medical or treatment error. The service he offers his patients is a wed-based service called MedFli (www.MedFli.com/SP). The MedFli health “toolkit” integrates proprietary internet technologies with modern healthcare services to help subscribers make better informed choices for themselves and their families.
One of the MedFli tools is the online personal Medical Journal. For less than the cost of a lunch once a month, subscribers can enter and store detailed individual medical information in MedFli’s HIPAA compliant and ultra secure site. Subscribers “own” their information making it totally portable regardless of insurance carrier or healthcare provider.
Details including medical alerts, all medications, allergies, specific medical conditions and a host of other important, and often overlooked, medical information can be stored. Since it is web-based the information is readily available for access by the subscriber or any healthcare provider who is given access. This is just one of four tools in the MedFli “toolkit”.
According to MedFli’s founder Daniel DiCesare, “Our goal is to give subscribers the tools to collect, manage, research and update personal health information. We believe this will greatly improve the quality of care delivered and offer peace-of-mind. At MedFli we provide the information, tools and resources that help people make their best healthcare choices.”
Founded in 2005, MedFli operates and delivers branded, healthcare programs over the Internet. Its clients include employee benefit consultants, global travel groups, student service organizations, financial advisory services and specialty healthcare provider services.
