mHealth Applications: Current Projects and their Status: Understanding the 12 Application Clusters of mHealth by C. Peter Waegemann, Executive Director, mHealth Initiative
Over the last twenty years, medical costs associated with lost time workers’ compensation claims has risen dramatically, despite efforts to reform the system. Medical tourism, a popular option for many seeking lower cost health care, is one option that has yet to catch on. Issues of quality of health care in other countries is no different for workers’ compensation patients, as it is for health care patients, and with accreditation from the Joint Commission International (JCI), hospitals that cater to medical tourists offer better care at lower cost than most U.S. hospitals offer. Certain procedures, common to workers’ compensation claims, such as knee replacement, hip replacement and spinal fusion in countries such as India, Thailand and Singapore, are considerably lower cost than those performed in the U.S.
However, legal barriers currently exist not only for medical tourism, but for its implementation for workers’ compensation. Medical malpractice, liability laws, patient privacy and medical records (HIPAA), ERISA, and the PPACA, all present significant obstacles that need to be addressed before such implementation are possible. Case law in the US has recognized limited use of medical tourism, both domestic and international, and opens the door a little for further development in this direction. The globalization of healthcare as evidenced by the tremendous growth of medical tourism in the health care arena, will lead to the implementation of international medical providers into the medical provider network for workers’ compensation.
