| VISION
"WorldCare's
vision is to provide specialist medical opinions through
a cost-effective e-health network in order to make the
best medical services accessible to all levels of society
across Malaysia"
APPROACH
Our idea of
e-health extends far beyond the standard affiliation
to medical institutions. We believe a succesful e-health
programme relies on systematic integration of the various
components of healthcare management and operations.
Adopting a service provider model, our e-health technology
and Global E-Health Network drives the services that
WorldCare offers, strengthening your competitive advantage
in healthcare delivery. From site locations to trained
personnel, image archiving and facility colocation arrangements
for imaging centres, standard operating protocols and
referral processes, billing, contract management and
marketing services, WorldCare's clients have a high
level of implementation assistance and operational support
built into the relationship.
COMMITMENT
We are a part of Asia, with our research labs and
training centres in Malaysia. Each acquisition site
and specialist reading hub will be manned by a WorldCare
e-health specialist who will be equipped to assist the
healthcare provider in utilizing the specialized equipment.
A team of dedicated marketing consultants will facilitate,
manage and coordinate the continuity of WorldCare's
product awareness campaigns to healthcare professionals
and patients across Malaysia. Our Asian Network Operating
Center is staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week by technology
specialists ensuring the continued operation and wellbeing
of the Global E-Health Network.
HISTORY
WorldCare was
created as a health care company to provide e-health
services. WorldCare at large is the global e-health
management company of the future. It is a recognized
world leader in the field of telemedicine and digital
health care. WorldCare was founded in 1992. The founders
identified an opportunity to utilise recent advances
in computer and telecommunications technology in order
to match supply and demand for top quality healthcare
and medical information services on a cost effective
basis without regard to geographic boundaries.
We were granted
Multimedia Super Corridor status in January, 1998. WorldCare
is also an affiliate of the WorldCare Group which was
created in 1992 as a platform company to provide global
telemedicine services.
In 1992 and
1993, WorldCare researched the commercial viability
of its global telemedicine concept; collected demographic
data; identified target markets and analyzed the local
delivery of medical services in its initial target markets,
principally the Middle East. WorldCare began operations
in 1994 and is currently providing services in the US,
France, UK and five Middle Eastern countries, namely
Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Lebanon, Yemen and the United
Arab Emirates. Centralized telemedicine services are
provided by WorldCare offices in Cambridge, MA and Paris,
France. WorldCare expects to be operational in 35 countries
by 2002.
To
supply specialist expertise to its international customers,
WorldCare has assembled a consortium of world-class academic
medical institutions to provide its patient care, information,
continuing medical education and other services. These
consortium institutions are also shareholders in WorldCare.
In
January 2000, WorldCare was awarded the MSC Teleconsultation
Flagship Application by the Government of Malaysia. A
30 month service and operational contract, WorldCare will
operate and manage the planet's first nationwide Teleconsultation
network spanning 41 Ministry of Health facilities across
the country, including in Sabah. WorldCare
continues to expand it's medical knowledge base by continually
seeking out and connecting new centres of medical excellence
into our eHealth network. This includes facilities within
Malaysia and the Asia Pacific region.
