Google lets the common people without long disease become the skilful doctor. In a lot of patients tape " The network diagnoses " For one's own era of a next prescription sitting in the right seat, what shall doctor do?

Is the medical reform controlled and consumed or reduce prices?

20 years ago, were studied in U.S.A. to read the doctor's application to accept by Birmingham university in order to ask about me, I have spent the salary of one month, go to the central post office of the edge of railway station of An'shan to dial an international long-distance call for 3 minutes; Today, trans-oceanic communication can go on free on the net equally, there are pictures.

It was likewise 20 years ago, it was to " cut open the belly to ascertain " that I had a lot of surgical purposes when the domestic hospital is as resident doctor : Have an operation to see what lump touched is on earth? CT, MRI,etc. is two-dimentional now, the three-dimensional image apparatus can know the detail of the internal lump at once.

Is there comparativity between these two? Yes. This is a book which I read recently said. This book is called " the innovator's prescription " (TheInnovator' sPrescription.AdisruptiveSolutionforHealthCare ionforHealthCare) ,The author is ClaytonChristensen, JasonHwang, JeromeGrossman separately. All fond of discussing how while checking for the hospitalization cost that increase day by day other people, the authors of this book provide a feasible medical reform solution in another perspective: Reduce the medical cost by introducing innovative technology and management mode.

Originally, we went to the central hospital to see the doctor and were the same as we went to the central post office to make the international long distance originally, because technology is uncomplete, force everybody to go to a fixed place to enjoy limited resources. The authors of the book show to us: The same law is deducing in different trades repeatedly - -Breakthrough technology and innovative commercial mode let products and service of a lot of trades become cheaper and cheaper, and quality is also better and better.

If deduce the health care trade according to the same law: Suppose the hospital is the post office of city center before 20 years, what kind the medical trade after a series of innovative technology import will be?

The medical service mode depends on the technological current situation

It was near a century ago, there is a hospital in the world everywhere. The doctor visits villagers' home, are all " family doctors " . That they spend a diagnostic tool ' Hope to smell and ask to cut) Hand-carry, the therapeutic medicine can be offered at any time too.

By product that the existence of the hospital is actually medical college. In slack season, a gang of students gather and study the medical skill. In addition, expensive and cumbersome X-ray machine, CT, MRI,etc. makes the hospital which fixes the address become essential. Only go to the hospital, the patient could see the most experienced doctor, use the most advanced making a diagnosis apparatus, thus received most accurate diagnosis and the most effective treatment.

"When disease is burdened with, our human body only has limited vocabularies to express the disease state. These vocabularies are symptom. And symptom limited, disease limitless, so a lot of disease might share the same similar clinical symptom. So, if the diagnosis of disease only relies on superficial symptom, treating lacks the specificity A breakthrough technology can really diagnose the technology of the cause of disease. Such technology, diagnose no longer guesses according to the doctors' subjective experience, but depend on the objective experimental data. "

We go to the hospital, because only the doctor could offer the most accurate diagnosis, make them know a large amount of information of making correct diagnosis because of their education and experience. Thus, go hospital it seeks medical advice to be to wash message and resource of the hospital of doctor, go.

There are convenient networks now, knowledge is being referred to, the experience of doctor and patient is being gathered in the network. Input a series of symptom into the computer, Google can provide a very near diagnosis. The doctor is losing ability to monopolize medical information. If, we needn't go to the hospital to do several and can get the accurate data to check, that doctor's existence value is smaller. Must go hospital of to watch disease we complicated,disease on is it simple and clear, we ourselves can deal with too.

Innovative technology changes complicated one into simply

If we can make more and more it in the past through developing and introducing innovative technology constantly " Complicated disease " The ones that turn into tomorrow " Simple disease " ,Has the hospitalization cost been lowered?

Put emphasis on innovating three main interdynamic in the above-mentioned book: ( 1) Technological innovation. Make the complicated course simple, routinize, popular. ( 2) Innovation of the commercial mode. Offer user to return assurance to be lucrative cheap innovative technology convenient. ( 3) Value system. A plurality of ones that destroyed the old and established the new together grew company and commercial entity.

It is benign to take shape at interdynamic time as the three sides, a brand-new trade took shape - -This interdynamic is taking shape in U.S.A..

In recent years, a kind of new developing " minute clinic " Spreading in all parts of U.S.A silently. Search for " MinuteClinic " with Google ,You will find there is the such one everywhere in the streets and lanes in U.S.A. " The minute clinic " ,They have strict business scopes: Only manage those " Simple and clear" Disease. Ordinary cold will go to the general clinic to see the doctor to make an appointment first, then waits for one or two hours to see the doctor. The doctor passed five minutes " Diagnose " ,What want has no difference in prescription and patient's heart opened. Instead of going to the clinic to toss about, it would be better to go to " minute clinic " Let the registered nurse write a prescription and cure the disease and save time as well as save money.

The factor strengthened constantly in a restriction, this kind of clinic, is to lack swift diagnosis technology. The molecule differential diagnosis technology that I researched and developed was looked forward to by this kind of clinic. So, as my predecessor CEO, Mr. Grimaud has run Diatherix Company (a service company offering fast pathogen molecule differential diagnosis) Later, breakthrough technology (tem-PCR) With the innovative management mode (MinuteClinic) Resultant of forces produced have been released out. Now, thousands of " minute clinics " spreading over the whole America Adopt Federal Express ' It is the company that an intact service system is essential) Mail the sample to Diatherix, several hours later, the patient can diagnose the pathogen measured suited the remedy to the case according to the molecule. The new technology makes the originally very complicated pathogen diagnose the course was simple and clear, have just reduced the necessity that the large hospital sees the doctor of going.

The new technology urges to grow the new commercial mode, a plurality of new born enterprises hatch a new medical care network together, this, innovate.

The existence of the hospital is still essential

Many doctors know and is unemployed because of appearance of the new technology. So what? It makes a large number of butchers unemployed too that mechanized!

Development of medical science and technology will become a lot of difficult disease easy to examine disease that can can cure gradually, but always there are diseases, the disease sent newly, will stay beyond our cognition. These diseases need experts and could make a diagnosis and give treatment according to experience and unique means, this is a necessity that the hospital exists. Moreover, such a disease still takes the overwhelming majority of kinds of Diseases at the present stage: We can really diagnose the cause of disease, there are really very few diseases having the clear healing solution. So, the hospital mode that we see today will also continue for a lot of years. However, with diagnosing revolution and medical information of technology are popular, increasingly many disease and patient will disappear from the hospital. This is given to the hospital " Reduce weight " Course walking abreast.

I hope everybody has an opportunity to read this book of " the innovator's prescription ". The authors have pointed out the developing direction of medical science and technology in the future for me. Moreover, they still tell us how to encourage an innovative medical technology to compete in the market, obstacles and due tactics expected. The author is not the medical reform outlet in seeking the system, but is to pass and analyze the evolution history of a lot of other trades, it it is the only outlet to innovate to point out.

The innovative technology can play an important role in diagnosing outside the body
