4Healing/HEG Addresses All of These Concerns with Easy Common-Sense Solutions.
Outcomes-Based Reporting By Condition, By Practitioner.

• problem 1 - the cost of managing complex, chronic disease will bankrupt the healthcare system as our population ages unless we help people maximize healthy aging and reduce their dependence on expensive drugs.
• solution 1 - HEG's objective in association with other leading edge institutions will train physicians and other healthcare practitioners to identify and focus on the underlying clinical imbalances of chronic disease, creating momentum toward optimum functional health. Rigorous outcomes tracking over a full year have demonstrated that for every $100,000 spent through 4Healing, payers save at least $1 million that they would have spent without 4Healing.
  
  
• problem 2 - there is a very long (sometimes decade-long) gap between the emergence of research pointing to new treatments and their adoption by the practitioner community, particularly for nutritional and dietary interventions.
• solution 2 - HEG's objective is to shorten the lag time of introducing new innovative research into the market by emphasizing the absolute neccessity of understanding the emerging research in biochemistry and physiology in the context of the clinical setting, with a focus on diet and lifestyle. We are advocates for pay-for-performance.
  
  
• problem 3 - health and disease prevention are largely the results of healthy living, but the healthcare system does not focus on lifestyle change or the underlying causes of disease.
• solution 3 - HEG's objective is to train clinicians to teach their patients to make lifestyle changes that are essential to their future well being.  Continual education will be provided on cutting edge science that can be implemented into a practitioner's practice.
  
  
• problem 4 - the U.S. ranks an average of 12th out of 13 countries for 16 top health indicators.
• solution 4 - if the above 3 solutions are implemented, the U.S. can again be ranked in the top percentile for all top 16 health indicator.  The focus must be on prevention, and optimal functional performance and vitality, not crisis medicine.
