Health Care
Medical professionals are changing the way they work.
A health care system that works is open. Patients and health care providers connect, collaborate and exchange information freely and securely with the end goal of empowering people with freedom, choice and accountability for health outcomes.
Traditionally, health care has embraced a top-down, silo model. Doctors are the sole purveyor of advice and medical records are locked-down to protect privacy. Information is fragmented and these barriers increase costs and reduce the quality of care. But, more and more, patients are empowered by information they find on the web.
The internet has become an effective communications and collaboration channel for both consumers and health care professionals. Online communities and social software gives organizations and patients the opportunity to quickly share knowledge, network with peers, and collaborate on medical research, education and projects. With IGLOO business social software for health care, medical professionals can align all participants to balance the dual challenge of greater access to care with improved efficiencies and cost control in delivery.
