MOBILE HEALTH & HURRICANE PREPAREDNESS
We mark the 2-year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina this week.
Hurricane Katrina was the costliest and one of the deadliest hurricanes in the history of the United States. The Category 3 storm made landfall on the morning of August 29th in southeast Louisiana and at the Louisiana/Mississippi state line, respectively.
BREAST CANCER
HEALTH360° is announcing the development of a Free Health Information Network Pilot Program for select medical institutions and patient-advocacy groups for women battling breast cancer in time for Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
The premise of the pilot program is to encourage and support women currently receiving or recently completing treatment for all stages of breast cancer. HEALTH360° will be able to assist women and their families in better managing their treatments and all other activities related to improving their health by providing them a full-service Concierge. HEALTH360° can be used to maintain medical records, pharmaceutical and dietary information, and even casual bits of information such as exercise regiments and personal schedules.
NATIONAL SECURITY & EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS
HOUSTON | This week, HEALTH360° was invited to participate in a Tabletop Exercise for Emergency Preparedness for Southeast Texas with over 400 government representatives (law enforcement, CDC), health officials, and industry executives.

THE STATE OF HEALTHCARE
TODAY’S CHALLENGE | With the US Federal Government’s 2014 deadline of Electronic Medical Records adoption and a recent announcement at the Annual AHIMA Conference – Hospital CIOs are seeking a viable platform within the next 2 years, HEALTH360° is properly poised to leverage its current momentum as the necessary infrastructure requirements within the hospital prospect is already mostly in place.
By enabling physicians and nurses to utilize this EMR network through any process they feel most comfortable with: (1) through a communication device or (2) sending data whether handwritten on commonly-used paper or by phone – the ease of use and affordability of HEALTH360° will enable mass adoption.
NEW HEALTHCARE INITIATIVE
A consortium of companies and group of business executives have joined forces to launch a new societal movement. The endeavor is to empower people to take greater control of their lives by enabling them to better manage their health.
In taking on such a massive mission, it is important to note that what will have to occur is a paradigm shift in the way we think of our health, the way we care for ourselves, and the way we will accept the new responsibilities naturally brought upon by increased technologies and access.
The result will be a true partnership with the physicians that care for us and effective management of the lifestyle that we lead. And our group will do so in a multi-faceted approach blending information and application in one multi-dimensional platform for you to use.
We bring to you HEALTH360°.
