Global Care Intl.’s “Patient-Centric” Digital Health Eco-System is Revolutionizing Medicine Internationally based upon but two disruptive principals:
The Patient is our First Priority!
If Medicine is a Science, then the Science is the Data, absent such, we are forever more doomed to “practice medicine” – We Can do Better!
When your able to really connect all the dots (retrieve and consolidate all the Patient’s data from every disparate EMR), you have solutions that impact every segment of the Health Care Continuum on a “National Scale” making possible:
“A Centralized National Health Data Information
Management System”

What’s a Centralized National Health Data Information Management System?
Many nations have embarked on various architectures in an attempt to achieve what is considered “the Holy Grail” of a National Health Data Management System. In most cases, these efforts have involved the creation of some form of Health Information Exchange whereby all health facilities (the source of patient data generated) would be “wired” from each medical facilities EHR/EMR using some form of API (FHIR or other) to the HIE for the exchange of data.
The inherent problem or “challenge” of this approach has and continues to be three-fold:
- Operational Challenge – Achieving the goal of getting “all” healthcare facilities wired, an extraordinary operational and financial challenge.
- Commercial Challenge – Getting “buy-in” for sending “all” patient data to include imaging to the Exchange, often times an unsurmountable commercial challenge. (In most all cases, a Voluntary Program)
- Technical Challenge – Being capable of receiving said data from different EHR/EMR Systems and processing said disparate data in such a way as to maintain the integrity of the patients’ longitudinal medical records.
“FYI- In the U.S., after some fifteen years and counting, a typical HIE discards between 26% and 40% of all incoming patient data from a source healthcare facility’s EHR due to the inability of being capable of “Process” (Parsing, Normalizing and Reconciling) said data into an existing patients’ medical records with 100% accuracy.”
How did Global Care International Solve these Problems/Challenges?
Global Care International, who had already developed and deployed an all-inclusive Telemedicine-based Patient Medical Records EMR System with the ability to generate and transmit an HL7 Comprehensive Clinical Summary Report to any point of care provider with but a “click of a button on either their Cloud-based computer of their Mobile App and the ability to receive a similar report in any form to include C-CDA, CDA, CCD, CCR, XML and other industry format, and “Process” said data with 100% accuracy, all that was left was a method for physical transport of that data to a remote provider without connectivity to the internet.
The Solution to the above was the development of the Smart Health & Identity Card Data Management System. The architecture consists of the following:
- A Micro-chipped Based Smart Health Card – This physical embodied solution is used for the purposes of authentication of a user’s identity, insurance beneficiary information at the point of care and storing and transport of their entire longitudinal medical records data to all medical providers. (All data stored on the Smart Card is encrypted)
The Smart Health & Identity Card provides absolute authentication of one’s “identity” – something they “have”, the card; something they “know”, their username and password and something “they are”, their patient photo.
- Client-Side Smart Health & Identity Card Management Application – This licensed solution is used for authentication of both patient and provider at the point of care and for the use of collection and return of all medical records including imaging relative to the medical services provided by that provider on that date of service.
- My Records Now Personal Medical Records EMR System – The Solution is owned by the patient and collectively maintained by both the patient and any/all care providers or institutions providing medical services. The solution contains all seventeen (17) sections of a Continuity of Care NIST Document. The system includes a native DICOM viewer for use with unstructured data such as imaging files. See https://www.myrecordsnow.com
- GCI Data Processing Engine – This unique cloud-based AI data processing system is used to process all incoming medical data on a given patient for inclusion (consolidation) to their existing medical records repository (My Records Now) to include notification to the patient/citizen of said update via both email and text.
- Back-end Data Reconciliation to Claims for Payment Engine – This licensed solution was developed for use by Insurance Agencies (Federal or Private) to facilitate reconciliation of medical services provided to the patient on a given date, place and time as submitted for payment as evidenced and verified by receipt of medical data supporting said claim. As you might have envisioned, this provides a “bullet-proof” method of ensuring all medical records are transmitted and at the same time, has been shown to expedite payments to the Providers by some 30-45 sooner than existing methods for reconciliation and payments.
- Precision Medicine Population Health Analytic Dashboard – This solution as licensed to all participating Federal, State Health Agencies to include Health Insurance Agencies for the purpose of conducting an unlimited breath of scientific research and financial analytics on any targeted population by any of 21 different categories including: Facility, Location (geography), Demographics and Seven Clinical Categories.
- SHCDMS Technical Support Dashboard – This Cloud based Technical Support Application is manned 24/7 in support of all technological resources supporting the Smart Health & Identity Data Management System to include the ability to Disable a given Smart Card in the event of loss, death or other.
What’s the Value (Impact) to Federal, State & Public Healthcare Systems, and Patients?
- Provides all Government Stakeholders the tools from which to access, monitor and manage the health of the nation’s population on a national, regional and local level. (Think of the impact, if this had been in place during the latest Pandemic?)
- Provides the State & Public Health System with the tools from which to finally realize true “Continuum of Care” across the community or landscape.
- Measurable reduced medical error in medical care, reduced morbidity and mortality in all age spectrums; (Doctors, Don’t know, what they Don’t Know)
- Reduces or eliminates redundant and un-necessary medical procedures i.e. X-Ray, CT Scans, MRI’s, Lab’s etc. due to the availability of the images and data at the point of care.
- Improves the quality of care received by every patient due to the care provider having access to a patient’s longitudinal medical history at the point of care.
- Lower Overall Cost of Care to the Ministry of Health
Imagine Having a National Digital Health Eco-System Solution that Brings Value to All Stakeholders

Breaking News: CMS Penalizes 2,499 Hospitals for High Readmissions
Eighty-three percent of the 3,046 hospitals CMS evaluated were assessed a penalty.
CMS will cut payments to the penalized hospitals by as much as 3 percent for each Medicare patient stay during fiscal year 2022, which runs from Oct. 1, 2021, through Sept. 30, 2022.
Thirty-nine hospitals were hit with the maximum penalty of 3% for fiscal year 2022.
The average punishment for the remaining hospitals will be a 0.64 percent payment cut for each/every Medicare patient stay.
The penalties will save Medicare an estimated $521 million over the next fiscal year.
Two Healthcare Giants Redefining the Future of Medicine
Mayo Clinic and Kaiser Permanente have agreed to collaborate to build capacity for hospital-at-home care involving Remote Patient Monitoring and Chronic Care Management)
The partnership will begin with a reported $100 million combined investment in Medically Home Group, which provides a technology platform aimed at allowing providers to address a range of acute clinical conditions safely in a patient’s home.
“Rarely in the history of medicine do we see such a perfect alignment of policy, technology and cultural transformation converging to produce a new care paradigm like acute care at home,” said Dr. John Halamka, president of Mayo Clinic Platform, in a statement.
“We can advance the well-being of patients by catalyzing innovative, collaborative, knowledge-driven platform business models to redefine the standard of high-acuity care for patients with serious or complex illnesses who currently receive care in hospitals,” Halamka continued.
