HEALTHCARE WHAT ? REMEMBER WHEN?
REMEMBER WHEN… HEALTHCARE WAS AFFORDABLE?
REMEMBER WHEN… GAS WAS .25/GAL RENT WAS $92/MTH ANNUAL WAGES WAS $4,600 AVERAGE HOME COST $12,750 HEALTHCARE PER CAPITA WAS $134
Forbes… In 1958 , per capita health expenditures were $134 . This may seem astonishingly small, but it actually includes everything, inclusive of care paid for by government or private health insurers. A worker earning the average wage in 1958 ($1.98) would have had to work 118 hours—nearly 15 days--to cover this expense. By 2012 , per capita health spending had climbed to $8,953 . At the average wage, a typical worker would have to work 467 hours—about 58 days
Little More History: What we recognize as modern medicine began in the 1920s. That's when doctors and hospitals, having only during the previous decade learned enough about disease that they could be reliably helpful in treating sick people, began charging more than most individuals could easily pay . To close this gap, which worsened with the advent of the Great Depression, the administrator of Baylor Hospital in Dallas created a system that caught on elsewhere and eventually evolved into Blue Cross. The Blues were essentially nonprofit health insurers who served local community organizations like the Elks. In exchange for a tax break, Blue Cross organizations kept premiums reasonably low. Cohn
As health-insurance costs rose during the 1970s and 1980s—driven both by improving medical technology and by the growing inefficiencies of the health-care system —health maintenance organizations, which had been around since the beginning, began to proliferate, along with other managed-care schemes . Like the Blues, HMOs became victims of their own success. Initially they were mainly nonprofit, but once again businesses spotted an opportunity and for-profit HMOs displaced nonprofit HMOs. (12 percent of the market was served by for-profits in 1981; by 1997, that was more like 65 percent.) With their bottom-line orientation, the for-profit HMOs were necessarily more aggressive about denying treatments. Cohn
Problem still remains: Not Accessible Not Affordable Solution: Remove the GRIP! Remove Layers Direct Care Direct Processing Technology
Improving Wellness starts with improving access, which stabilizes population health, but not monitoring or limiting access to “death”. By “Directing Care” you limit Fraud and Abuse, the highest category of “Cost” on this balance sheet. Admit it! Medicine is a business, why not treat it like one? Improving access by directing care through technology, of each healthcare episodes need.
We call it, “Patient Care at the Point of Need”. Directing a patient to ‘their point of need’ the first time onset happens, whether chronic or episodic, through technology.

SB 741 Platform - to encourage the timely and appropriate use of primary care services in lieu of emergency room utilization. Main goal is to re route ER visits to Primary Care “Appropriate Care” We can send them to an OP consult first with a surgeon and so on…again Imaging, CT, and MRI. A regular PCP may not have • digital X-Ray, PCP, and MRI. So again they are sending them out. So not only are we sending to Primary Care instead of ER, we are also checking with Internal Medicine, Surgery, etc. and thus saving more and more visits from the ER . Functionally speaking, this is not practical or realistic, not specific, multiple compliance issue, no continuum of care, each entity repeat • functions and a breakdown in duplicity of services as each PCP office is diverse as well as the treatment path.
SB 741 SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES 1) Educational strategies to increase health literacy for participants in the Oklahoma Medicaid Program; Center of Diabetes Excellence, the patients will also get educated by specialty providers instead of ER, by PC instead of ER. Each patient we touch we supply with education on their health, as well we can have handouts and do have handouts regarding diabetes and other illnesses.
