A study by researchers at Johns Hopkins Medicine says medical errors should rank as the third leading cause of death in the United States — and highlights how shortcomings in tracking vital statistics may hinder research and keep the problem out of the public eye.

More than three-quarters of healthcare consumers say it's important or very important that they know their costs before treatment, and 53 percent want to discuss financing options before care. But the vast majority of healthcare providers are not satisfying these demands, according to the HealthFirst Financial Patient Survey, a survey conducted by ORC International and commissioned by patient financing company HealthFirst Financial.

Humira is an injectable medication used to treat multiple autoimmune diseases ranging from rheumatoid arthritis to psoriasis to ulcerative colitis — and it’s one of the best-selling drugs in American history. In 2014 alone, millions of Americans spent a combined $6.5 billion on Humira prescriptions.
But we probably didn’t have to. While Americans paid an average price of $2,669 for Humira, the Swiss were able to buy the exact same drug for $822 — and in the United Kingdom, patients got it for $1,362. If the United States paid what the Swiss paid for the arthritis drug, we would have spent $2 billion on Humira in 2014 rather than $6.5 billion.
There’s nothing different about the Humira that we bought in the United States and the drug the Swiss bought – except that in the United States, we’re terrible at negotiating a good deal on pretty much any medical service.
“It’s exactly the same product, but, in terms of the American patient, you’re just paying double or more the price for no more health gain,” says Tom Sackville, chief executive of the International Federation of Health Plans.
Every two years, his group publishes a report that compares health care prices in different countries. And it shows that Humira isn’t some weird anomaly; nearly every procedure or drug costs way more in the United States.

It's a chilling reality – one often overlooked in annual mortality statistics: Preventable medical errors persist as the No. 3 killer in the U.S. – third only to heart disease and cancer – claiming the lives of some 400,000 people each year. At a Senate hearing Thursday, patient safety officials put their best ideas forward on how to solve the crisis, with IT often at the center of discussions.

Patients are increasingly using physician review websites to find “a good doctor.” However, to our knowledge, no prior study has examined the relationship between online rating and an accepted measure of quality.  In a study of cardiac surgeons practicing in the 5 US states that publicly report outcomes, we found no correlation between online rating and risk-adjusted mortality rates. Patients using online rating websites to guide their choice of physician should recognize that these ratings may not reflect actual quality of care as defined by accepted metrics.

In a decentralized future, you have your medical record on a blockchain. You alone have the private key to allow access to this information. Because the record is distributed and all participating parties have a copy (securely encrypted until you provide the key) the General Practioner, specialist and A&E doctors are all able to access this at any time.

You can also receive micropayments from big pharma when they perform big data analytics on your anonymized record. Perhaps you receive a discount on medications or benefit indirectly from the research knowledge gained.

Your health insurance plan (also on a blockchain) interacts with the providers as you attend the different points of care. Pre-approved in your plan are the treatments and costs your insurance will cover. You only need one set of blood tests and one CT scan (and therefore half the cost incurred). When you present to A&E, your allergies are known as are the details of your surgery.

In fact, the heart rate and blood pressure measurements you do at home have been uploaded to your medical record on the blockchain as they are IoT (Internet-of-Things) enabled. The General Practioner has already had an alert and sent a prescription to your mobile phone (as a digital asset on a blockchain) which you pick up at your local pharmacy (which by the way is also linked to your medical record and insurance plan).

As a result, your infection is detected earlier; you avoid sepsis and don’t need A&E in the first place. Actually, you are in quite good shape. Your insurance company validates data from the fitness monitoring devices and your regular visits to the gym (recorded on the blockchain) – bringing your premium down.

By adopting a decentralized approach to healthcare, we remove data silos, enable interoperability and enhanced process speeds. We maintain tight security but simplify access. Because the uniform platform is shared by all participants, the costs are not duplicated but shared. There is no delay in claim underwriting and payment because the smart contracts on the blockchain allow automated decisions.
Healthcare providers don’t need to send invoices to patients or insurance companies and wait for payment clearance. The transaction on the shared ledger represents the invoice, the transfer of funds and the receipt; it represents the episode of care; it even documents the outcomes or potential complications – which are then auditable and can be used to alter the value-based remuneration. Patient Reported Outcomes are used instead of the antiquated fee-for-service model. The incentives for good practice are built into the code.
