International Healthcare Research Overview

Welcome to my blog! In this series of posts I will be exploring the various facets of healthcare systems around the world. Healthcare has always been a complex system and learning from others could be one of the ways the United States can improve upon a system that has some major flaws. I will also be exploring the interesting concept of globalizing healthcare. The idea of adding international competition has been highly debated with solid points on both the pros and cons side. 

I have chosen to focus on countries apart of The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). These countries share a lot of similarities to the United States and will serve as a good baseline to compare and contrast our system to theirs. Initial research has shown much discrepancy especially in the areas of cost and quality as seen in this graph. 
I will also be putting an emphasis on the use of information technology in these countries to see if there are areas we are not fully pursuing to make the experience more efficient and patient friendly. 

 I look forward to putting more research into this topic and sharing my findings on this blog!

    Unfortunately there are a lot of AIDS/Herpes denials on Herbal cures still out there. I did research on them after I was tested HIV/Herpes positive I was so worried am I going to die soon. I continue my search again on herbal remedy for Std, then I found lots of testimony on how Dr Itua Herbal Medicine Cured HIV/Aids, Herpes Virus,Copd, Hepatitis, Diabetes, On websites sharing their testimonies, which made much more sense to me. All the authors pronounce Dr Itua As a man with Good Heart, I pick interest in their testimonies and I contact him about my situation then he gave me procedure how it works, I proceed after one week he courier his Herbal Medicine to me and instruct me on how to drink it for two weeks to cure. I receive His Herbal Medicine so I drank it for two weeks as I was told then after 2 days I go for a test I found out I was cured from HIV/Aids & Herpes Virus, I pay homage to him 2 months ago to his country to celebrate with him on his African festival which he told me it usually happens every year. I know there are lots of (HIV)/Aids&Herpes Virus denials of Herbal Remedy movement the same few doctors and they represent a very small faction of the community. I could have died because I refused Natural Herbs Cures for so long, but luckily, by the grace of God I am alive to tell my story.

OECD Health Data

The OECD collects a lot of health data which was perfect to see what are some other effects of cost in these countries for healthcare. I used  http://www.oecd.org/els/health-systems/health-data.htm  to collect the data in these graphs.  This data show some of the reasons cost is so high in the US compared to the other countries I was researching. An unhealthy population, with reliance on pharmaceuticals are just two of the many reasons contributing to this dilemma our country is facing.

International Healthcare Series: Canada, Germany, United Kingdom

While the debate over the best healthcare system for the United States goes on, Canada usually comes up in the conversation at some point. Whether it be because of its proximity to the United States or the way their healthcare system is set up, Canada is a popular country to compare to the US. In this blog post, I will be gathering detailed information about Canada's healthcare system to see what parts would work to help the United States healthcare system and which would not be as applicable. But first a video! Although the video may be a bit dry, the information within it is very important to people living in the United States because many have the same questions that these senators are asking and the experts answer them very well. So let's dive into Canada's NHI and see whether their system is successful and why that is.  Canada's Healthcare System   Canada's healthcare system is called Medicare (not to be confused with the Medicare in the US) and wor
