Global Health Management

At EMG®, we identify the concept of Global Health Management (GHM) within traditional Economic theory, which has Macro GHM and Micro GHM principles and attributes. From the Macro side, the impetus for a Global Healthcare Management program to be effective requires an affiliation with an established international governance 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.

Regarding the Micro GHM issues, we focus on the in-country, localized health care program, which essentially is 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 services to patients and physicians located halfway around the globe involves synchronous and asynchronous communication tools, including electronic 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® maintains mutually beneficial relationships with more than 50 medical schools with affiliated medical centers worldwide. Current projects in development aim to help enhance medical devices by accelerating three essential applications: signal and image processing, visualization, and artificial intelligence. Through the power of a single GPU architecture and a single programming model, R&D groups can accelerate their time to market and leverage engineering investments across product lines. All of which will have beneficial effects on the international transfer of medical science and practices to advance effective global healthcare and education.
