(Administrative - Cost)Crisis in U.S. Medicine

• Medical Malpractice Insurance Reform Needed
• 80 - Hour Workweek Mandated
• Increasing Complexity of Care and Technology
• Nursing Shortage
• Decreasing Reimbursement More Difficult to Manage

5
Hope for U.S. Medicine

• Effective Utilization of Information and
  Computation for Quality (Safety) and Efficiency
  (Collaboration)
• Medical Malpractice - Define and Assure Quality
• 80 - Hour Workweek - Improve Efficiency
• Increasing Complexity - Improve Safety
• Nursing Shortage - Improve Collaboration
• Reimbursement More Difficult - Reward Quality

Chicago Biomedical Consortium
This conceptual diagram symbolizes our goals of
tightly collaborative scientific advancement and
education across our institutions, which will be
achieved by weaving together our substantial
existing enterprises, enhancing them in strategic
focus areas, and leveraging them with other
international resources.

Considerations of Applications, Middleware and
Network Infrastructure to Support Medicine

• Adherence to Open Standards - Many Entities
  Participating
• On-Demand Bandwidth with Massive Capacity -
  Highly Variable, but Immediate, Real-Time Needs
• High Reliability / Redundancy - Zero Tolerence
  for Error
• Secure Channels (auditable?) - Privacy is
  Paramount
• Auto and Manual Bandwidth Throttles - Wireless
  Design Points
