    The Future of Healthcare

    January 23rd, 2008

    by Tony Chen

    Go check out this great post on the World Health Care Blog for a good wrap-up of what Deloitte, Brailer, PWC, Forrester, et al are saying about healthcare in 2008.

    To summarize, here are 8 things that will increase in '08: IT investments, MDs using the internet, telemedicine, healthcare costs, employers not providing healthcare, individual health insurance, retail clinics, and hospital/physician tension. Are we having fun yet?

    While these eight events may happen in 2008, suppose there is a significant financial downturn in our economy? And suppose that cost cutting in this recession means cutting employer sponsored insurance, vastly increasing the numbers of uninsured? What will happen to the bulk of hospitals that depend on privately insured patients?
    A major economic downturn will cause our bloated healthcare system to implode on itself. We will see hospitals that have invested in expensive procedure and testing units shut their doors, doctors leaving the field in even larger numbers, and massive consolidation.
    It is coming. Maybe not in 2008, but soon.

    The post is right on. There will be a day when doctors who don't provide online medical advice to their patients will be considered outdated.

    The M-1965 Field Jacket , also known as the m65 jacket is a popular field jacket designed for the U.S. military. The m65 field jacket has been around for many years. It was introduced into US military service in 1965 to replace the M-1951 field jacket, an evolution of a Second World War design, the M-1943 field jacket. The m65 field jacket was widely used by United States troops during the Vietnam War in which the jacket became useful for troops serving in the Central Highlands of South Vietnam, as well as keeping a soldier warm from the cool weather conditions that came after monsoonal rains.

    The health care paths that these two very different men from opposite ends of the socioeconomic spectrum pursued in their destination to death are notable and ironic.

    Safety Tip

    Hospital facilities built today do not include asbestos, but many older buildings still have asbestos components in them. Steam pipes, boilers and furnace ducts were often insulated with an asbestos blanket or asbestos paper tape because of their fireproof and insulating properties. Resilient floor tiles were made from vinyl asbestos. Asbestos cement was employed in roofing, shingles and siding materials. The hazard of this carcinogen increases when the fibers become airborne, and untrained contractors can inadvertently increase risks by cutting, tearing, sawing, scraping, or sanding asbestos materials. Elevated asbestos levels can occur in hospitals where old materials are damaged or disturbed. It is best to leave undamaged asbestos material alone if it is not likely to be disturbed. Inhaling asbestos fibers is known to cause mesothelioma and other diseases. Be sure to use an experienced asbestos removal contractor when you need to get rid of old materials that might contain asbestos.
