Why not encourage (ie. fund) care providers to be proactive in how they treat people. Here is my example (based on recent experience) - recently visited a walk-in clinic with a sore throat (I suspected strep throat). They took a swab, I waiting 6 days then needed to return for another appointment to find out my results and get another prescription.

Instead why could they not just ask which pharmacy to send a prescription to in case the results come back positive and pre-screen for things like allergies, concerns about taking antibiotics, etc. Upon receiving a positive result you can be notified by phone and the script can be sent directly to the pharmacy. Instead I have to leave work early - drive across town just to learn the shocking news that my swab is positive and for someone to hand me a piece of paper.

This is just one use care - but I'm sure there are likely hundreds more.

I have to admit I was inspired to post this after watching this entertaining TED talk:
