THE CHANGE.GOV BRIEFING BOOK CLOSED SUNDAY AT 6PM EST.

Thanks to all who posted votes and comments there.

Adding to this post: I’ve put the Obama team proposal here as well, because some people were having trouble finding it.

We posted our proposal to the Obama Healthcare team around the first of the year. It is available at our web site. The introductory paragraph says this:

“This document is addressed to President-Elect Barack Obama’s healthcare team to suggest how we could work together to significantly reduce the costs of healthcare service delivery and increase quality at the same time. Additionally, our approach will contribute directly to the economic recovery—not only by creating jobs to build the new infrastructure, but also by using automobile plants for the manufacture of healthcare facility components. Finally, the facilities we are proposing are well-suited to satisfy urgent needs of the Department of Defense (DOD) and the Veteran’s Administration (VA) to provide better care for soldiers.”

Now the proposal has been entered into the change.gov “Citizen’s Briefing Book.” The most interesting proposals in that book are, I understand, headed for the President-elect’s hands after the Inauguration. Part of the process of getting it into the President’s hands is to have it get attention from those reading in the briefing book. People vote on the suggestions there.

Here is my request: Vote us up in the rankings!

How do you do that?

1. Read the document. It’s 10 pages of gripping stuff that is relevant to our world.

Thank you very much!

All the best,

CareCyte proposal for Obama Healthcare Team

We just posted, on the website of the Obama Healthcare Team, an abstract of a proposal to radically improve access, quality, and the cost of healthcare through the introduction of a new kind of healthcare facility.

The abstract and the full proposal are available here.

Many people have helped produce this proposal, through conversations, reviews and comments and re-drafts of our initial ideas. We are grateful for the help. What we are trying to do is something that will take the concentrated efforts and thoughts of a lot of people. Posting the proposal is just the beginning.

We invite your comments to our proposal, and we are interested in any help you may be able to offer us with what we are attempting to do with this proposal and the company CareCyte.

We wish you a successful and healthy new year.

To a healthier future for us and for our children!

- the CareCyte team.

Coming Soon – First customer!

The first customer for the new CareCyte technology will be a biotechnology laboratory.

Come back soon for more information!

Welcome to CareCyte!

CareCyte’s Blog is a place where we can talk with people who are interested in what we are doing, want to share concerns about healthcare quality with us, have stories to share about things done well or badly in healthcare, or just want to say things about what is needed in the world of healthcare.

We see healthcare discussed in the news, in the office and at home. No one, however, has yet to speak about the connection of facilities – their design, construction, or operation – with the fundamentals of healthcare cost and quality. That is where we come in. We have developed a new kind of healthcare service delivery facility that is efficient, affordable, can be delivered in weeks rather than years, less expensive to maintain, and is anti-nosocomial.

We are offering assistance with the design of service delivery. We will help you give the same or better quality care more efficiently and faster.

We challenge the idea that healthcare has to be delivered in the same way it has been since the 19th Century, in service delivery patterns that have been fundamentally unchanged since the 19th century. Why not have healthcare designed for the world we live in?
