The organization aims to promote the integration of the social and healthcare systems. This can lead to obvious ways to find treatments that benefit the patient when and where the patient needs it.

 

Attempts to combine medical and social services will be conducted to an extent that has not been tested yet, under a unified set of positive incentive structures for the lowest effective level of care while simultaneously optimizing quality motives. The organization's background is the book Managed Care in a Public Setting, authored by the organization's chairman Richard Evan (Rick) Steele. The book provides a practical and compelling roadmap on how to achieve a system that is optimized for all conditions.

 

For example, mobile units supporting home treatment for common conditions bring many benefits to patients (they avoid hospital infections, communication and coordination failures between departments and have the benefit of the family and/or neighbors' help) and save costs. Coordinated contributions from the social system will help make this possible. Preliminary estimates suggest that up to 60% - 70% of the cost can be saved and used for other tasks. In countries where this may seem to present insurmountable obstacles due to the sheer complexity of the playing field, a strategic alliance can get the ball rolling.

 

Health systems and social services carry out their duties fairly satisfactory separately, but when problems are complex and involving many transitions between systems, we know that the risk of error and waste is great.

 

Socio-Health’s strategy is to help break down boundaries and obstacles to the rational and strategically sound use of resources to make a cheaper but more efficient system for the benefit of all.
