What the American Health Care System Can Learn From Denmark: A Conversation with Ib Johansen
June 1, 2009
Some things you may not know about Denmark: It rains, on average, every other day. They have the oldest national flag in the world. And their health care system uses electronic communication. Imagine going to see a new doctor and not having to fill out all the new patient forms because your information is online for the doctor to see. Imagine no more faxing over records from your previous doctor, no more waiting for your x-rays to be delivered, and no more waiting at the pharmacy – just fast, efficient care. We were lucky enough to sit down and talk with Ib Johansen, whose work at Medcom is instrumental in making Denmark's system run smoothly.
