A Calls For Healthcare Price Transparency, Embracing IT To Cut Costs by iRepFactmart: 4:09pm On Mar 09, 2013 |
The lack of IT capability in healthcare is keeping costs high and consumers ignorant. “The absence of technology, in part, means consumers have no way of knowing what they’re going to be charged, what their options are, in place after place in Nigeria. What I think we should think about is.. 1. What we can do to improve delivery and what can be done to improve what consumers get. Information sharing which is vexing the healthcare industry as it struggles to implement proprietary electronic medical record software and upgrade its medical coding systems, will be key to driving costs down. 2. The healthcare industry inclusively must be willing to let go of “horse and buggy systems,” a lack of transparency for consumers and the practice of disempowering ordinary citizens from becoming more involved in their own healthcare. 3. We should give all of our [patients] a guarantee that if he/she comes back to the hospital after three months for any reason related to the care he/she gets, We co-pay(discount) for it.
