At e-medSol, we are on the constant pursuit of making the dream of the global hospital a reality. We believe in flattening the healthcare domain by linking hospitals, health care facilitators and health tourists on a virtual platform, so that the entire process can run seamlessly.

Global Care – A new frontier
The times are changing and healthcare is no more limited to a hospital serving patients in its immediate periphery.  Rather healthcare is becoming more globalised in nature, where the limitations of geographic boundaries are getting erased and hospitals cater to a global clientele.

What has lent impetus to this concept of global healthcare? 
A consumer based approach or what we call consumer driven healthcare is the key factor that has driven the need for affordable and quality care options for the consumer.  Owing to the skyrocketing costs of treatments, insufficient health insurance plans and long hospital waiting periods faced in most western countries and Europe the consumer is facing a dilemma when it comes to dealing with hospital bills and getting required treatment done.  Employees and insurance companies have decided to adopt thus a consumer based approach by providing flexible medical plans and packages to their employees and clients respectively, where the latter has the final say in choosing the package for them. This helps to reduce the costs considerably and at the same time provide high quality treatments.  Medical tourism companies come into the picture too as they form an important ally to employers and insurance companies or may even function alone to provide flexible treatment options to the consumer. 

The need for tools and information to make consumer driven healthcare more transparent and accessible to the patient
It is the consumer who has the power to make the final choice regarding the amount of money he wishes to spend on his treatment and where.  For this purpose, healthcare facilitators such as employers, medical tourism companies and insurance providers need to make information on such options available to him, ensuring that the information is first hand and any transactions between their client and their chosen hospital is given the utmost security privacy and confidentiality as well. In short, there needs to be a platform where all information exchanged between all the players – healthcare facilitators, patients and hospitals – are well integrated.  e-Medsol’s Virtual Global Healthcare Ecosystem forms this unique platform where information from all players can be integrated on to an online platform by linking hospitals with healthcare facilitators and patients worldwide. Typically the services the platform would offer to the end user i.e. consumer would be as follows

• Access to options for medical treatment based on criteria selected by him- List of hospitals to choose from
• View details of hospitals to make an informed decision
  1. Facilities, location, treatments, specialities, doctor information
  2. Hospital success and infection rates
  3. Patient testimonials and hospital success stories
  4. Cost of treatment
• Ease in selection of services
  1. Treatment selection
  2. Non-medical offerings – Accommodation, travel packages, vacation, accessories etc
• Secure Information transfer and transactions
  1. Medical case history transfer
  2. credit/debit facility, fund transfers online, financial credit from health care facilitator etc
