THE SCIENCE OF SUCCESSFUL OUTCOMESsm

Welcome to 4Healingsm
Breakthrough Corporate Benefit Plans with Proven Results
Using the Science of Successful Outcomessm and Outcomes-Based Medicine to
Reduce Employer Healthcare Costs While Improving Outcomes

 

Company Description: 4Healingsm is a healthcare information services company which has developed a breakthrough corporate health benefit plan. The Benefit delivers substantial healthcare cost reductions for its clients.  In an industry where quality metrics are largely absent, the Company's key advantage is its proprietary model which fully incorporates healthcare’s best and most transparent healthcare quality metrics: continuous tracking of treatment outcomes by practitioner, by condition.

The Company adds value by providing employees of client companies the critical information needed to access appropriate healthcare from practitioners who have demonstrated success for the employee's specific problem.  The Company strives to provide each member access to the practitioner who has demonstrated success with the most effective, least invasive scientifically validated therapy for the member's specific problem.  The Company collects clinically relevant feedback from both practitioner and patient after every clinical interaction, so that choices become better refined as time progresses.  First, the Company collects answers to what it calls the “Four Critical Questions” from its practitioner network:

  1. Does the practitioner work with my specific problems?

  2. How frequently does the practitioner work with my specific problems?

  3. What special training and experience does the practitioner have for my specific problems?

  4. How successful has the practitioner been working with my specific problems?

Information to differentiate one practitioner from another in terms of efficacy for any condition is almost completely opaque.  Practitioners do not track or report their own outcomes for any condition.  Neither consumer nor practitioner has anything other than anecdotal data or guesswork to differentiate efficacy among practitioners or modality.

The Company has demonstrated that accessing the appropriate practitioner right away averts substantial sums spent on unnecessary tests and procedures, as well as avoiding costly mistakes.

Based on advanced information technology and proprietary processes, the Company’s completely scalable business is fully operational and ready for national deployment.  The processes have been tested for over three years, and the results have consistently shown superior patient outcomes and well over 50% payer cost savings.   The Company is well positioned with several global corporations headquartered in New York City.  Company strategy is to prove its model with major companies in New York. 

Like Dun & Bradstreet® in the financial sector and Consumer Reports® in the consumer products sector, the Company uses proven proprietary processes to capture and report the most important and relevant healthcare quality metric: unbiased outcomes data on individual healthcare practitioners’ success working with specific conditions.  The benefit seamlessly integrates into existing corporate health plans. Based on operational results in Denver, client companies will substantially reduce healthcare costs while improving outcomes for their employees. 

The 4Healing model is poised to augment much of the prevalent ineffective healthcare delivery systems with the Company's simple common-sense yet highly disruptive market-driven techniques. 

If client companies experience a fraction of the results already demonstrated in Denver, 4Healing will show a significant increase in healthcare quality along with a substantial decrease in cost well within one year of starting with any firm.  When the results are reported, the Company believes that the business perception of the 4Healing Benefit will change from a worthy add-on into a must-have component of any self-insured employer.

Management is uniquely qualified and experienced to execute the model.  The Company’s principal founded (1982) and built the nation’s largest and most effective outcomes-based physician information services company, 1-800-DOCTORS, from concept to national expansion led by Morgan Stanley, Citicorp, and others, at which point it was processing 1.2 million patient appointment requests annually.

4Healing resets the incentives, paying doctors for taking the time to be accurate with the diagnosis.
