Dear Researchers,
I would like to know what were technical, practical challenges with integratation of various country-, regional- and provider-level health data and how you overcome them (i.e. from problem to solution).
Insurance companies have their formula to adjust the local living standard.
Another challenge is to analyze the lifelong cost for a disease from different health care professionals.
Please read the two attachments, you can notice the big differences between different treatments. Then, you know what I mean. It's from one of my patients. Whose ER visits and current symptoms are all from his drug side effects. Is it a joke?
I think you need more detail for a reasonable answer. There are lots of challenges and lots of solutions, but they tend to be context specific.
As the prescription drugs, getting more severe side effects, the low acupuncturist reimbursement makes the alternative treatments more useless.
When there are more symptoms and more severe diseases, the patients need more needles and/or longer treating time. Due to there is no acupuncturist's seat on any insurance company's board, the insurance low payments to the acupuncture clinics makes an acupuncturist need to treat multiple patients in an hour. That destroyed acupuncture treatment effectiveness.
