At EMG®, we correlate the concept of Global Health Management (GHM) within traditional Economic theory concepts of Micro and Macro, where Macro Global Healthcare Management and Micro Global Healthcare Management borrow foundational aspects from their Economics cousin.

With respect to the Macro side, the impetus for a Global Healthcare Management program to be effective requires the provider (EMG®) to maintain an affiliation with an established international healthcare organization with an extensive history of cross-border program design, delivery, and management. Organizations such as the International Monetary Fund, the World Health Organization, the World Bank Group, or other government or non-government organizations are representative of a Macro-sponsor for a country or continent-wide health management program. For EMG®, that organization is CIGNA Global Healthcare.

Respective of the Micro Global Healthcare Management issues, focus is placed on localized in-country health care topics and concerns. These are essentially the physical dispensation of medical care, and more importantly, health and wellness education to the local populous. When health care providers reach across borders to provide medical services to foreign patients and physicians, they rely upon digital technology to advance their services. Modern telecommunication and digital technology have forever changed the global healthcare delivery model.

Today, providing healthcare services to patients and physicians around the globe involves synchronous and asynchronous communication tools, including e-mail, interactive video, and smartphone apps that facilitate diagnosis, consultation, treatment, monitoring, and even medical research. Remote second opinions -- whereby a health care provider is asked by either a clinician or a patient to verify a diagnosis or treatment from a distance have surged in the international medical sector.

EMG® is well-positioned to become a developmental leader in smart-hospital solutions. EMG® evolved from the education and training side of medicine. And we have maintained those mutually beneficial medical school relationships with more than 62 first-tier medical schools as our Charter members. Projects in development include medical devices aimed to accelerate three essential patient care applications: signal and image processing, visualization, and artificial intelligence. Through the power of a single proprietary GPU and a data collection and analytic application, Data Scientists can accelerate patient diagnosis and treatment pathway. One of many projects under development at Emedata, Inc., our medical information laboratory and research center.
