H2O 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.”
