Rely on large data analysis of "physician interpersonal relationship", improve medical quality!

When you search for a sore throat or skin rash on the Internet, there is always a lot of information to help understand the cause, but it is difficult to get medical information related to health care, such as the patient's personal record, the results of the examination, the X-ray and MRI photos, and the performance of individual physicians and other electrons physicians, the medical Information technology sports person and writer Tolot ( Fred Trotter a plan to open up a flood of hidden medical data after raising money for the masses.

Take, or even nobody knows. He has found some state-level physician information, including medical history and qualifications, as well as an Tolot in the healthcare system, and then initiated MEDSTARTR activities in the hope of obtaining more information to answer simple but important questions, and to produce powerful medical aids.

"For example, if a Chicago resident feels that the quality of a doctor who graduated from Roy Medical College is higher than that of the University of Illinois, then people should be able to use the data to discover this fact." ”

In the long run, he hoped that by the insurance company and all levels of health units data, the establishment of a physician rating system, based on historical records, professional certificates, access to other physicians referral patients and other data, for patients to fully understand the professional background of physicians and related evaluation, the key lies in "building a patient 211.html" > Feel useful , physicians feel fair rating system. ”

The information he has obtained can also be used to establish a variety of tools, such as setting up an automated system to collate all medical records of individuals to different physicians, even if they do not remember the names of doctors, he said, if no one is involved, he will do so. MEDSTARTR activity ended on December 10, if the intention to use "physician interpersonal relationship", as well as Tolot excavation of relevant information, next year will be based on the creation of CC authorized release.

He believes that the real reform of the medical system can be achieved through a data review of the doctors and medical industries in central and local areas.
