In the United States, President Obama signed the economic stimulus package that includes funding for Health Information Technology. "Our recovery plan will invest in electronic health records and new technology that will reduce errors, bring down cost, ensure privacy, and save lives". MedicVue.com is the answer that will bring health care delivery to the 21st century by combining modern technology while bypassing medical dilemmas.
In a time of health care reform cost remains a constant issue. In most cases an admission to a hospital facility is through the emergency room where physicians determine if a patient requires further monitoring or testing. What if a simple system was in place that could allow the facility's emergency room or any medical treatment center to know a patient's brief medical history before they arrive?
