Hi, it's Patrik Hutzel from INTENSIVECAREHOTLINE.COM , where we instantly improve the lives of Families of critically ill Patients in Intensive Care, so that you can have real power, real control and so that you can influence decision making fast, even if you're
not a doctor or a nurse in Intensive Care!
In this episode of the INTENSIVECAREHOTLINE.COM Podcast I interviewed Delia Scales founder of WIKIHOSPITALS.COM.AU
Wikihospitals.com.au is an Australian website, inspired by both Wikileaks and Wikipedia. It stands for open exposure of major healthcare problems and free, high quality, on-line disease and treatment information.

In this episode of the INTENSIVECAREHOTLINE.COM podcast you'll discover
- the health industry is not like any other industry and is often a 19th century antiquated
style system
- why there is a lot of secrecy around health care
- Delia shot some videos about a Patient who nearly lost her leg due to private hospital
negligence
- Why the only time clinical incidents may be publicly exposed is if there is a coroner's case after a Patient's death
- Why some Patients are
made NFR(Not for resuscitation) without Patient and Family consent and why it's a disgrace
- Why there is a big fight and massive competition for Intensive Care beds and how Hospitals try to manage it
- How Patrik's service INTENSIVE CARE AT HOME can help free up expensive and precious Intensive Care beds and why it creates a win-win situation for Patients, Families and Intensive Care Units
- Why the health industry in Australia is not competitive compared to other first world countries and why it needs changing to improve the system and Patient outcomes
- Find out Delia's vision and dreams what WIKIHOSPITALS will do for Patients and their Families
- Why "gag orders" for doctors put another "lid on the pot" to public exposure of clinical incidents and negligence in hospitals
- Why Delia thinks that accreditation processes of Hospitals are flawed and what WIKIHOSPITALS can do in order to bring transparency for Patients and their Families
- Delia wants a big and bold public exposure of what's going on "behind the scenes" in hospitals
- Why current clinical practice and paradigms are often
research driven and therefore fail to provide care to some Patients who don't fall into a research category
- Why the Internet will be changing the health industry with freely and publicly available information that was previously hidden
- Why big public and private Hospitals don't have a blog and why it's an obstacle to transparency
