Every day, across the U.S. healthcare system, valuable hours are lost to a silent but costly problem: incomplete or missing patient records.
-
Physicians are constantly digging through fragmented EHR systems to find the information they need.
-
Nurses spend hours tracking down outside lab reports or images.
-
Administrators chase faxes (still), and prior authorizations.
-
And patients? They wait—days, sometimes weeks—for the care they needed yesterday.
The operational impact is staggering. According to multiple studies:
-
Up to 20% of provider time is spent searching for patient information and staring at screens.
-
Lack of care coordination accounts for $25–45 billion annually in waste.
-
Nearly 1 in 3 tests are repeated because prior results aren’t available.
-
Delays due to incomplete data lead to longer hospital stays and readmissions, increasing payer and provider costs alike.
These inefficiencies aren’t just frustrating—they’re unsustainable.
The Problem: Fragmented Systems, Disconnected Care
Despite billions spent on EHRs and data-sharing platforms, true interoperability remains out of reach. Providers on different systems can’t talk to one another. Patients are left carrying paper printouts or relying on memory. Critical information slips through the cracks. Physicians and clinicians are burning out at rates between 47-65%. 300-400 die each year due to suicide. The stress and overload of administrative challenges sends many to search for non-clinical positions.
And with the rise of chronic illness and multi-provider care—especially among older adults—the stakes are only getting higher.
MedKaz solves this challenge at its root—not by forcing systems to integrate, but by empowering the patient with their complete medical history on their key ring.
Here’s how it works:
-
Patients carry a small, encrypted usb device on their key rings.
-
It contains every medical record from every provider they’ve ever seen.
-
Clinicians can instantly view medications, labs, images, notes—everything—regardless of system.
- No clicking and scrolling for records that are unavailable.
- No delays in visits, tests or procedures.
- No duplications of unecessary care and co-pays.
Just the information you need—when and where you need it.
The ROI of Readiness
When clinicians have complete patient information at the point of care, the ripple effects touches every person and part of the healthcare system:
-
Faster clinical decisions → shorter visits, fewer delays, and better outcomes.
-
Fewer duplicate tests → immediate cost savings and reduced claims.
-
Improved diagnostic accuracy → fewer errors and malpractice risks.
-
More time with patients → increased job satisfaction, less burnout and greater provider retention.
-
Streamlined care transitions → this is especially critical for older adults and high-risk healthcare populations.
For employers, that means fewer lost workdays, lower insurance costs, and healthier employees. For payers and the VA, it means data-driven efficiency—without overhauling IT infrastructure.
