Techniques in Medicine Index
One technique mentioned on ReachMD XM160 radio is to have the patient fill out a form with information while in the
waiting room, "rather than reading Sports Illustrated." In the specific case cited, the patient was suffering from
Rhumatoid Arthritus and would be asked which joints are tender and other related questions.
Traditionally this information is provided by an interview of the patient by the physician. Certainly the lowered burden
on the physician is a plus.
Another doctor suggested that he would like to be able to remind a patient about her diet as she entered the grocery
store. By using the GPS in the modern smartphone, this can be accomplished. As the baby boomers grow older,
healthcare could reach 30% of GDP if we don't modernize the profession.
Of course, if all you want is jobs, then we must train more doctors and nurses and you can forget the computers.
National bankruptcy looms.
