Big News, Big Bills, Big Problem...

Visit this link on Reuters official website for the shocking news on healthcare spending in the US.
http://www.reuters.com/article/newsOne/idUSTRE59P0L320091026

The headline reads "Healthcare System Wastes Up To $800 Billion A Year"

$800,000,000,000.00!!!

That is a lot of money. And it's not the money spent, it's the money wasted.

So what's the solution? Let's start with this statement from the article:
"One example -- a paper-based system that discourages sharing of medical records accounts for 6 percent of annual overspending."
So just by switching from a paper to electronic system, the US can avoid wasting more than $40,000,000,000.00 a year? That's amazing! What about taking a proactive step and sharing the electronic records instantly and directly through a simple and secure system?
Using a system like Sushoo, physicians and their staff can save five hours a day on average (based on a single-clinician practice) and avoid duplicating any patient evaluations. This also allows physicians instant access to a patient's recorded history, allowing them to make informed decisions that will prevent malpractice.

Imagine all of these problems being solved with one system, and not a system destined for the distant future! Doctors are already using Sushoo's system today, and a free demonstration is available to any interested physicians. Please visit our website at www.sushoo.com or call us at (321)574-5245!
