IT, Knowledge Management and fixing the Healthcare

The state of our country is at a unknown. We are faced with major changes ahead of us and of those changes is the health care system. I do believe that our health care system needs a overhaul but a mandatory system is out of my question. But of this overhaul one of the biggest that needs to occur is our IT perspective of health care. We are in a state where most doctors offices still are on a paper based system,  that's not efficient and not going to cut it. So what do we need? Well first we need a knowledge management circle in my opinion of the best IT professionals in the US. With that we need to develop a standard DBMS that all hospitals can adopt to allow easy access by medical professionals so that when a patient needs care no matter where they are the doctors have the resources required to do their job effectively. Another element we need is a country wide think tank that will allow doctors from all across the country to effectively communicate with each other and share ideas, trends, and innovations. These changes alone will allow a more effective, efficient, and powerful health care system. Which can ultimately be a driving force to correct a lot of problems.
