FAIR International Health Insurance Conference starts today!

2011-06-06T11:04:00.004+08:00

The healthcare industry in Asia and Africa region continue to deal with the fast advancing challenges. Escalating healthcare costs, limited funding for public healthcare, uninsured and aging population, insufficient healthcare services, economic inflation, unpredictable pandemic and new diseases, sophistication in insurance needs, traditional medicines, pricing and affordability are among the common headlines for these developing and emerging markets.

Malaysia Healthcare CEO, Suresh Ponnudurai will be speaking at the conference on a very engaging topic; 'Taking Health to the Next Level with Medical Tourism for Insurers'

Despite the challenges, there is still great potential for strong business and revenue growth, considering the low penetration rate,tax relief incentive and health tourism. Insurers and reinsurers must choose the right perspective and formulate winning strategy such as through partnership, innovation, services, technology etc. Therefore, taking advantage on these challenges would create a long term competitive advantage for the company towards becoming the market leader.

Against this backdrop, The Malaysian Insurance Institute (MII) and the Federation of Afro-Asian Insurers and Reinsurers (FAIR) believe that it is timely to organise the FAIR International Health Insurance Conference under the theme Leveraging Business Challenges to Drive Growth.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Google's Eric Schmidt on Business Culture, Healthcare & Technology!

2011-05-19T11:46:00.003+08:00

A great interview by McKinsey & Co with Google's Eric Schmidt! Google’s executive chairman shares his strategies on hiring, running meetings, designing “mobile first” business models, and addressing joblessness and education reform. On page 5, Mr. Schmidt gives his thoughts on healthcare and how everything should be simplified when we see a doctor and recommends storing our healthcare in a USB dongle or a Personal Health Record (PHR).

Malaysia Healthcare patients have been using a portable Personal Health Record (PHR) called the iPHER for a number of years that carries all their PHI which includes, medications, lab tests, diagnosis, immunizations, alternative procedures, digital images, dental records, ophthalmic care (lens and contact prescriptions) and DNA any where in the world with no need to access the Internet to view the information. Malaysia Healthcare currently uses this PHR to reduce medical errors and create continuity of care for their medical tourists.

Our thanks goes to Mr. Schmidt and Google for finding new ways to simplify our visit to our healthcare providers!

How to Design a Successful Disease Management Program by McKinsey & Co!

2011-03-25T15:10:00.000+08:00

Health systems around the world are under increasing strain because of the rising prevalence of chronic conditions, including diabetes, heart disease, and asthma. For more than 15 years, disease-management programs (DMPs) have been promoted as a solution to this problem. By carefully coordinating the delivery of high-quality care to patients with chronic conditions, the programs are supposed to enhance the patients’ health, reduce hospitalization rates and lower treatment costs.

Successful DMPs focus on patients’ needs. The interventions they include are applicable to the vast majority of enrolled patients, as well as simple and easy to implement. The patients are given ongoing, disease-specific coaching to maximize their ability to care for themselves. In addition, the programs include regular physician visits and preventive health checkups so that the patients’ health status and compliance with treatment can be monitored. Because one person is responsible for coordinating each patient’s care, the patients are not subjected to duplicate treatments or other unnecessary inconveniences.

Malaysia Healthcare CEO, Mr. Suresh Ponnudurai spoke at the 2nd Annual Electronic Health Records conference in Singapore today. This is the second time that Malaysia Healthcare has been part of this event. This event brings together representatives from the government, public and private hospitals, healthcare technology providers and consultants to discuss the implementation of leading edge technology and to identify new partnerships and opportunities in Asia. With the global move towards EHRs as an effective tool to improve access to patient information, reducing costs and administrative loads, improving patient safety and healthcare delivery, governments in Asia are pushing for national initiatives towards implementation of EHR's.

Mr. Ponnudurai spoke on an important and emerging topic; 'Mobile and Portable Healthcare Deliveries and its Impact on Electronic Health Records and Patient Privacy'

His topic covered the following:

• Evaluating patient care deliveries, such as portable Personal Health Records (PHRs),

handheld devices and mobile workstations , and how these aid the physician and

improve the patient experience

• The use of mobile synchronous (voice) and asynchronous (SMS) telemedicine diagnostic

and decision support to remote clinicians

• Overcoming the challenges that face various online PHR systems

• Discussing the portability and continuity of care issues that face current PHR systems

• Privacy Issues

Malaysia Healthcare patients use a PHR called the iPHER (Individual Personal Health Electronic Record) to carry all their personal health information.

Pasig City, Philippines , 26 October 2010: Applying information technology to its brand of personalized and customized health care, The Medical City (TMC) launches the e-Partner Card, the Philippines’ first individual electronic storage card for patients’ personal health records. Similar to a flash drive, the card can be plugged into any computer’s USB port for the sharing and uploading of in-patient and out-patient medical histories, MRI images, CT Scans, Echocardiograms, digital X-rays, prescriptions, and other documents pertinent to a patient’s health, all without Internet connectivity. The e-Partner Card is TMC’s exclusive version of the Individual Personal Health Electronic Record (iPHER™) device introduced by global medical service provider World of Wellness (WOW), headquartered in Malaysia.

Upon every visit to TMC, patients with e-Partner Cards need only submit their cards to the service unit’s staff to have their latest records uploaded. The card also keeps track of rewards points earned by patients each time they utilize the services of TMC’s main hospital or any one of its satellite clinics. The card is also especially useful for frequent travelers, as it can be used anywhere in the world, able to translate records into a variety of languages, and offer secure data back-up.

“With the e-Partner Card, every TMC patient can now be an even more engaged partner in the attainment of his health goals,” says Margaret A. Bengzon, Group Head of TMC’s Strategic Services Group. “This ability to actively manage his health information enables the patient to communicate and collaborate more actively with his physician, towards more efficient, effective and customized care.”
