About Me

Patients First - Dr.Aniruddha Malpani,M.D.
Mumbai, India
We feel patients are the largest untapped healthcare resource and that Information Therapy is Powerful Medicine! Information Therapy can help patients save money on medical care by: 1. Promoting SelfCare and helping them to do as much for themselves as they can 2. Helping them with Evidence-Based Guidelines , so that they can ask for the right medical treatment that they need – no more and no less 3. Helping them with Veto Power, so they can say No to medical care they don’t need, thus preventing overtesting and unnecessary surgery . Information Therapy is good for doctors and hospitals as well, as patients who are well-informed have realistic expectations of their treatment. They are much more likely to have a good medical outcome and much less likely to sue. How can we all work together – doctors, patients, hospitals, health insurance companies and IT companies , to ensure that patients are at the heart of everything we do in healthcare?
