International Hyperbaric Medical Foundation (IHMF)

Replace Managed Care Model with Effective Care Model, thus creating a health care system that is more effective, more efficient and less expensive. The reason government is involved with health care is to create an effective work force Managed Care focuses on avoiding effective treatment today, even if down the road the expense of the patient is hundreds of thousands in future lifetime expenditures.

• Routine Payment for Biologically Effective Treatment for Brain Insults Other Medical Conditions improved by Oxygen Saturation.
• Hyperbaric Centers Available in Every Community in America (within 30 miles of nearly every U.S. Resident)
• Routine use with burn patients (HBOT saves thousands with better outcomes.)
• Solving America’s Largest Public Health Crisis, Untreated Brain Insults. Savings per year: Hundreds of Billions
​• Development of Integrated Protocols to maximize recovery of every patient that has had brain insults, especially the 1 million battle casualties from the current war.
• Falls & Routine Blunt Trauma & Crush Injuries: $20 billion per year is spent on falls, for which there is currently no routine treatment.
• Routine Treatment Pre-Post Surgery (by-pass surgery shown to have 61% reductions in complications with 20% reduced ICU stay just with 2 HBOT treatments.)
• Cooperation between medical specialties to improve the quality of care in their specific field whenever hyperbaric oxygen or other compatible therapies can improve patient outcomes.
