OMR's Internet-based system is designed to save insurers, employers and consumers millions of dollars in unnecessary, unwanted and duplicate health care costs.

Rising Health Care Costs

During medical emergencies, essential information is frequently not available, resulting in misdiagnoses and delayed, unwanted, unnecessary or improper treatment costing insurance companies, employers and consumers hundreds of millions of dollars each year.

The National Center for Health Statistics reported that there were almost 116 million emergency room visits in 2005 - approximately 40 visits per 100 persons. More than 27% of Americans over the age of 75 and children under the age of 6 visited an emergency room at least once during the year.

According to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, health care costs in the United States will constitute more than 20% of our nation's GDP by 2015 and are expected to exceed $4.0 trillion.

OMR can save hundreds of millions of dollars in unnecessary and inappropriate health care treatment costs, and save thousands of lives in medical emergencies.

Medical Errors are Scarier than You Think

A Robert Wood Johnson Foundation survey found that 95% of physicians state they have witnessed serious medical errors. A landmark study by the Washington think tank Institute of Medicine of the National Academies found that hospital mistakes contributed annually to the deaths of between 44,000 and 98,000 Americans, with medical errors costing the nation $38 billion annually. Preventable errors represent $17 billion of those costs, and half of these are direct health care costs. A more recent study by the Commonwealth Fund suggests that these data may be only the tip of the iceberg in determining the full extent of injuries from medical errors. A lack of timely and pertinent information can only make this worse.

Immediate Access to Medical Information Significantly Reduces Error

In today's uncertain, mobile and extended family environment, making information readily available is essential.

Bill Gates highlighted the need for digital medical information in a Wall Street Journal article. "By giving us comprehensive access to our personal medical information, digital technology can make us all agents for change, capable of pushing for the one thing that we all really care about: a medical system that focuses on our lifelong health and prioritizes prevention as much as it does treatment. Putting people at the center of health care means we will have the information we need to make intelligent choices that will allow us to lead healthy lives -- and to search out providers who offer care that does as much to help us stay well as it does to help us get better."

A Primary Health Care Information Source is the Internet

The Internet has become the default means of obtaining information for many people. Nearly 202 million Americans use the Internet and Internet use is growing by 2 million people each month. 75% of Americans age 30-49 and 58% of Americans ages 50-64 currently go online. Senior (over age 65) Internet users now exceed 8 million or approximately one-quarter of the senior population in the United States and their use of the Internet has increased 47% since 2000. The Pew Internet and American Life Project found that almost 70% of "wired" seniors visit the web daily. Eight in ten Internet users have looked online for information on at least one of 16 health topics. Nearly sixty (60%) percent of those who found the Internet to be crucial or important during a loved one's recent health crisis say the single most important source of information was something they found online.
