HEALTHCARE REFORM INFORMATION
The AWA’s focused and defined goals to create a “healthier patient base” will ultimately lead to a paradigm shift in medicine that will help to promote prevention and wellness as “Essential Components in the Development and Reform of America’s Healthcare System”.
The promotion of Prevention and Wellness strategies will help reduce healthcare cost and reduce the incidents of medical related errors and disease. Research data recently published in 2003 reveals that for every dollar ($1) invested in the practice of Prevention and Wellness Care, there is a direct savings of seven dollars ($7) in treatment and hospitalization cost.
Medical Liability Reform
Never before has a practice of Prevention and Wellness, been so essential to improving the overall quality of America’s Healthcare System. As more and more physicians practicing in a variety of disciplines embrace Prevention Protocols in to their general practices, our Public and Private Healthcare Systems will immediately see a reduction in disease and medical treatments.
Collectively the inclusion of Prevention and Wellness Management by physicians as a standard of patient care will ultimately decrease the amount of prescription drugs, hospitalizations, defensive medicine related tests, treatments and surgeries. A reduction in prescription medications, will “Reduce Medical Errors”. This will help to lower Malpractice Insurance Rates and Increase Reimbursements.
