Preventative Medicine, Health & Wellness Key

FUSION co-founder, Kyle Virina, announces today the upcoming Convergent Health Care – Health & Wellness Initiative scheduled for July 4, 2009. “Over 4 years ago, my family was thrown smack-dab in the front-lines of the US health care system, and an on-going fight against cancer is part of our reality today. Since then, I – along with our company’s board and team members – have experienced first-hand the 56% of diagnosis errors, the 1 out of 3 treatments wrong, and the $100-200B in payment errors that contribute to this struggling system.” 

“We are starting a hospital-based Health & Wellness Knowledge Management effort that will work with physicians, administrators, and patients – along with other stake-holders (pharmaceuticals, insurance) specifically designed to keep patients and hospitals healthier.” adds Virina.  ”Yes, hospitals need to increase profitibaility if they’re going to stay in business and improve current systems. We’re in the midst of the worst economic environment in the last 25 years. Now is NOT the time to NOT invest in health and wellness. When people are out of work or struggling financially, health becomes ‘post-pone able’.”

He concludes, “H2O can help hospitals turn Data Centers within their organizations into Profit Centers. And this will ultimately benefit the most important stake-holder of all: the Patient.”

H2O Launches Market Roll-out Effort

New York City-based H2O officially launched its market roll-out effort one month early. “We needed to go live ahead of schedule with some of the projects we are working on here in Manila.”, states Kyle Virina, co-founding partner of H2O – a media-technology Application Service Provider part of the FUSION Network that works with governmental agencies, corporations and NGOs. “Since we provide the technology and community architecture for the FUSION360 Network, and with the outbreak of Swine Flu occuring, we are consolidating our combined efforts with our media partners to leveraging our global reach to get the word out on this possible pandemic.”

H2O is partnering with the country’s leading advertising agency alongside media and technology companies in the United States, South America, and the Philippines to open a Nerve Center. The center will monitor the current outbreak, manage data collection and reporting, and consolidate media outreach efforts to support prevention or response management campaigns.
