Thomas Goetz: It's time to redesign medical data

Summary:
From this video Dr. Thomas Goetz gives us many examples for proving that we should change our health care systems. He thinks that better heath is not a science problem, but it is an information problem. Patents are the people who really need to know the information not the incurrence companies, doctors. Patents know what should they do, but they do not that. Patients should know what happen to them, and It is does not matter what education we have. He also suggests us to make our own feedback, so every patient should ask our doctors’ questions like this. Can I have my result? What does this mean? Can u help me to understand this? What are my options? What choices put on the table? What is next?

The presenter, Thomas Goetz, gives us a really great show. I think this is a rational presentation, and there is much helpful information in it. We cannot get records, but it is necessary that we can be used and understood but everybody. In the end of the video, Thomas Goetz tells us we should understand our own records, and he also teaches us how we can ask our doctors if we do not understand. This is very helpful for us. I think people or patients should know what happen to them. It is not only eating pills and listening doctors’ orders. I mean we have to follow these steps, but we should know ourselves too. However, I also think do patients know their problems; it is not going to help them curing themselves. Maybe they will be a negative way to face their problems, so the results will be worse.
