The diagnosis is clear: Americans need to reinvent the culture of healthcare using effective tools that ensure appropriate care.

Why? Because each time we go to the doctor, we have a 46% chance of receiving substandard care. Deviation from best-practice care results in misuse, overuse, or failure to use appropriate medical resources.

Inappropriate care leads to higher costs. The healthcare industry itself estimates that 30% to 50% of healthcare costs are pure waste.

Only care that is aligned with the most current, accurate, and unbiased results from peer-reviewed sources and top medical experts can lead each of us to expect the right care for our individual circumstances.

The ideal solution to achieve the goals of better healthcare and reduced waste must:

• Work for all conditions, not just a few
• Be rapid and reliable
• Assist patients in multiple languages
• Foster trust through independence and lack of bias
• Stick with patients throughout a medical episode
