Synopsis

This is the solution to the global health care crisis. Knowledge-driven universal coverage provides a way to raise health-related behaviors and care to the highest possible levels. If the knowledge of a person's conditions exists, the 2020 Program's objective is to provide that information in a form that can be applied in a timely manner, instantaneously if possible. This is not only a private right, but a public imperative. Such answers reside in the knowledge of the people and how it is used. Technology needs to be organized to promote optimal use of such knowledge based on a constant flow of as much health-related information as can be made available.The 2020 Program for Global Health is a vehicle for achievement of existing epidemiological and public health initiatives. By introducing fluidity, smooth flow of knowledge, into the equation and by establishing consistent data collection and evaluation facilities, the 2020 Program closes the loop between planning and doing, between research and implementation.Focus on data collection and scientific interpretation provides an authorized, grounded channel from inception that can provide lifestyle and clinical guidance, definitive compliance audits, and step-by-step authorization patterns. Dual control, the simultaneous support of top down administrative controls and horizontal, science-based processes, is an important aspect of knowledge-driven universal coverage and optimal health outcomes. This includes eradication of noncommunicable diseases in particular and an ability to direct resources toward healthy behaviors and more self-fulfilling past-times. The 2020 Program for Global Health is established for this purpose, focusing on good health as the primary outcome and the elimination of diseases as an important step in that direction.
