Every step of the way we have "scrubbed" the process of change and asked the critical question "are we raising quality and lowering cost in health care for our patients"? With each step we have been transparent and honest with ourselves. We have taken what "is working" in other industry across the United States and applied that knowledge to the health care industry. We have gone through the painful process of using technology the way it was intended (by Ford, Deming, Franklin and others) and have come up with a health care system that works to help people live longer, improve quality at a lower cost.

We have divided our technology into four categories, - patient care, - doctors, - vendors, - community. Go to the home page to get more specific information about what's in it for you personally.

We raise quality and lower cost by:

1- Using technology the way it was intended.

2- Keeping the process of change simple and paperless

On the national level we spend approximately 2.3 trillion dollars per year. We need to get that down to 1.7 trillion eventually but immediately we need to get it to 2.1 trillion. The solution is a "question of economics". Economics as defined as "What is the best utilization of scarce resources".

Patients need to have easy access to quality health care products and services at an affordable price with well trained affable physicians and other providers.

Physicians need access to quality information at their finger tips real-time without the burden of excessive paperwork and hassles. They need to share personal health care authority and responsibility with their patients and be responsible and accountable to fiduciaries, employer groups and regulators.

Regulators need reasonable inexpensive checks and balances locally and state wide to spot check quality, quantity and cost of health care. Federal government needs to fund special needs groups, research and development, and lastly make the states accountable for the money they receive.

The "Health Co-op" has the answer.
