I don't know, but it's something that's been on my mind.
But right now my primary care doctor (who is most valuable to me) gets paid zero when I am healthy and more the more tests and procedures she does. Other specialists only get paid when I am referred to them. Drug manufacturers only get paid when their items are prescribed. Essentially compensation is based on consumption not on wellbeing which is why the system is so messed up.
The US market definitely needs to be split into two. A baseline coverage that is based on wellbeing, effectiveness and does take price into account, done by the government available to all residents. It is easiest to gather the money via taxes (which already happens to a large degree) and to provide the actual care via combinations of government employees/facilities and contractors. And a top up private system where the people who want to pay for or provide gold plated coverage and procedures can do so (in addition to the base).
Most countries have different systems which amounts to running experiments in effectiveness and efficient. Heck worst case just do what the French do http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_care_in_France
Are there technologies that enable medical "self-service" or less dependance on doctors ?
I think medicare has started a "fee for package" program(instead of paying for services, you pay for a complete treatment around a single medical event - let's say knee surgery + including all services - for a single fee). Are there technologies that can help such implementations ?
Are there any technologies that can help places more receptive to medical change(like africa[1])? with time the experience gained there could be integrated in other places.
How can you make medical tourism a more popular choice or better choice? if it would be popular , more insurance companies would offer it and would pressure the medical establishment for improvement.
