replies: text: I've changed my mind. I like the article, now. The article was called 'Healthcare professional' and now is 'Healthcare industry'. The definition is now much better. It has not drawn the argumentative medical establishment bashing I was concerned it would, and the content here has been appropriate to the general nature of the topic.

thread_title:  Why have this page 

message: I don't know where to put this, so here seems best. Many of the articles on the various health care professions read like essays, or promotional articles written by practitioners, and violate POV and encyclopedic style of writting. A number beging with something like "x's are highly trained health care professionals..." - is anyone moderately trained? A lot just read like pamphlets. - Matthew238 08:57, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I would agree the use "highly" is not only non NPOV, but just unnecessary.  If I find it, as I did in this article, I'll remove it.  Feel free to do the same and thanks for pointing this out. Chupper 18:54, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Cleanup

message: I've moved this page from Health profession to Health care industry so that it is a new subarticle for the Health care article.  I've bolded the text in the lead section using both terms of health professional and health care industry.  To differentiate between the profession and professionals, I've also moved much of the "professional" and "practioner" stuff to Health care provider. Chupper 18:32, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

message: I want to write a section about the finances (macroeconomic scale) of the pharamceutical, biotech, and healthcare providers. Maybe later fill in micro details later. This seems like a good page to do it. The first project is investment dollars.
The easiest way to answer the healthcare investment question is to look at pharmaceutical industry association data. IN the US there is Phrma 
, in europe there is EFPIA   . For old long term stats on the US there is the NIH report .:NIH stopped producing annual estimates of national support for health R&D by source and performer (including state and local government funding) after 1995, when it discontinued publication of its annual Data Book. I havent looked at Japan yet.Mrdthree 16:08, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I have placed material into a second sub-section of _History_ entitled _Transformation_.  In the case of the Chinese healthcare industry, it would appear that Growth and Transformation are running side-by-side, but it is the Transformation that is having the greatest impact on patients and healthcare providers (based on the citation I have added to the article).  I am not personally familiar with the Chinese healthcare industry; so input from physicians and other personnel embedded in that industry would be good to ensure that the message presented is not skew. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 01:44, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Investment Trends in Healthcare industry

message: Health care systems and Health field seem to cover the same territory.  I think that one merged page (with all the appropriate redirects) would be the best option.  WhatamIdoing (talk) 00:36, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't agree. I think it is a good thing that the health care systems article gives an separate overvieuw of how these particulair systems work. -- Mdd (talk) 12:25, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

text: Disagree. The Health field article is about something else completely! --Tom (talk) 12:26, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

text: Oppose: I agree with Tom. --Historian 1000 (talk) 00:13, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Merger proposal

message: In the 'See Also' section there is a link to 'Stellar Search'; this seems to be a recruitment company and perhaps has been put there as advertising? Not sure if I should have opened a talk topic or just deleted it (sorry I'm not a frequent editor!). Pete (talk) 15:00, 4 February 2014 (UTC)
