Provalcare.com : NEW WAY TO OPTIMIZE HOSPITAL RESSOURCES

Description

Excerpted from the website:

I-Context of Health Information System Evolution in Occidental countries

I-1- Stakes in the control of healthcare spendings

There is a lot at stakes in the control of healthcare spendings in Western countries today with:

-the aspiration of everyone to a better living,

-the rise in life-expectancy,

-medical progress,

factors that have all the effect of increasing healthcare expenditure in the national budgets.

Maintaining the same growth rate in healthcare demands come up against certain limits, which are set by the available financial resources

They are today achieved and even exceeded in certain countries like France.

The control of these healthcare expenses becomes an absolute priority for countries willing to maintain a high medical level and even to optimize healthcare offers in order to face the increasing needs in this field.

The search for productivity gains has been actively started in France like in most of the European countries with the starting in the last three years of:

-medical references become indispensable to doctors in their prescriptions to patients (ref. Medical References Obligatory in France),

-new Hospital Financing Systems orientated to Stays Pricing, variable according to the Stay being part of the 800 Pathologies : the Diagnosis Related Groups (the latter having inspired the name of PROVALCARE).

-new Health Information System supported by Health Cards for the patient administrative identification and the follow-up of their medical profile, as of the Social Health Network implemented in France since 1998.

I-2- Stakes of the implementation of Health Information System focused on the patient

Control of healthcare spendings impose implementation of Health Information System focused on the patient. Implementation of these new Health Information Systems is today planned inside the hospitals and on a national and international level.

Inside the hospital, this target is achieved by the implementation of the medical file and the nursing file.

On a national level, new Health Information System are created based on sanitary cards intended to the administrative identification of the insured persons and to the back up of their medical profil, as of the Social Health Network implemented in France in 1998.

Implementation of Health Information System planned within the next five years can overrun the organisation of present Healthcare Systems in all Western economies.

These new Health Information Systems must in the long run be the principal vehicles capable of favouring a better control of healthcare expenditures by the knowledge of individual consumption and levels of prescriptions practised by all the Professionals of Healthcare. The systems must in particular enable a rapid diffusion of Health Management Organisations in Western economies in order to optimise the means of treating the pathologies. The implementation of these new tools must especially permit the mobilisation of the productivity gains that exists in the running of Hospitals.

As an example : in France, enormous productivity possibilities up to now unsuspected exist. Likewise if we take into consideration the structure of hospital costs and the global cost of the functioning of Public and Private Hospitals, the stakes related to an optimisation of hospital expenses exceed 8 Billion €.

Hospital sector Global costs in Billions of € Public 7 Private 1 Total 8

New ways of organising and running hospital and medical practices, like the introduction of new Health Information Systems, new Health Management Organisation and Medical Co-operation Groups, appear today like the only way for Western economies to protect their gains in the Health System.

II-Strategy of PROVALCARE

PROVALCARE intends to make available to all the economical actors in healthcare, the tools that they lack to control their hospital spendings.

These management tools will enable them to make the most important productivity gain that exists in the optimization of the Costs of Medical and Hospital Practices. As an example : the stakes involved in an optimisation of the management of hospital expenditure is in the order of 8 Billion € for France only.

Among the management tools, PROVALCARE favours the construction of Medical and Hospital Practices Cost Databases, by implementing MEDIFIN, the only software up to now, based on universal appraisal principals.

These databases will enable to support the Financing of Hospital Structure Systems in effect in the modern countries. They will be accessible to all the International economical health actors: Government Health Bodies/ Institutional Organisations/ Hospitals, Mutual Insurance Companies-managing the new Health Management Organisation, french version of the American "Health Management Organisation".

With MEDIFIN WebI, PROVALCARE commercializes for 2009 the new version of MEDIFIN as an Application Service Provider all over the word, especially in european and Maghreb Countries

With MobileCare, PROVALCARE markets the first user-friendly and exhaustive devices dedicated to medical data collection related on the patient, whose absence brakes today follow up of medical treatments and medical profil as well as appraisal of inpatients costs during their stay inside the hospital, and consequently generates break in controling heathcare spendings.

With HopitalStat, PROVALCARE will enables hospitals, using MEDIFIN, in property or within the facility management framework created, as well as Institutional Organisations, to compare their own performances to those of hospitals belonging to the same category

With MEDIFIN@ Health Management Organisation PROVALCARE will enable the consolidation of same patient costs inside the same Health Management Organisation

PROVALCARE wants to become on begining the new century, the International LEADER of Medical/Hospital Practices Cost tools and Databases.
