Netwokr-centric healthcare

Directions:
Network-centric Healthcare
1. From patients' perspective, they want to collect their clinic reports and put them in one place, where they can easily manage and share with others.
2. Network to link different departments within a hospital.
3. Network to link different hospitals within a country.
4. Network to link different countries to share healthcare resouces. (Developing country and developed country)
5. Visit the healthcare network anywhere anytime.

Current Issues:
检查结果，科室间互不采信; 个人医疗记录缺乏延续性;病人无法了解医疗质量;
与三甲医院人满为患形成巨大反差的是等级较低的医院门可罗雀。

Good abstracts:
Worldwide costs and the disparity between healthcare in the Western world and the developing countries increase exponentially. Increased involvement of ICT allows, in similarity to the military, a transition from platformcentric to more cohesive and collaborative networkcentric operations. In the information-intensive environment of healthcare, the networkcentric approach allows free and rapid sharing of information and effective knowledge building required for the development of coherent objectives and their rapid attainment. We suggest that the application of the proposed networkcentric doctrine is arguably the best chance of changing the way healthcare is accessed, provided and managed both nationally and across the globe.
