          Rarely in the history of our nation has there been an urgency to address problems facing the US healthcare system. Most of these problems are not new; they have been discussed for decades by the all-talk, do-nothing politicians.
          Making American Healthcare Great Again is a seven-point healthcare policy strategy.  The “IT IS ACE” strategy addresses seven urgent national policy initiatives that should be implemented by Health and Human Services for the benefit of the American people.
​          Each letter in the “IT IS ACE” strategy title corresponds to a major policy initiative. For each policy initiative, there is an outline of the Scope of the Problem; Policy Priorities; Deployment Phases; Special Considerations; and Accountability.

          In 2010, Dr. Safeek hired a team of software developers and programmers to develop custom Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications. In 2013, the company created the EMR-based PulseChex software for clinical integration, which allowed it to analyze data and publish ratings and rankings on more than 4,500 different US hospitals.  
​          100 SafeCare Hospitals site was up in 2013. The consumer-oriented service helps consumers make informed decisions about their health care. 
          Based upon hospitals performance trends, the company in 2014 launched a new EMR-based SaaS to satisfy Joint Commission’s physician privileging requirements OPPERA, and another SaaS to help hospitals with Centers of Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Hospital Value Based Program (HVBP) ValueTrax I.
          By 2015, the company released SafeCare magazine to share important healthcare quality information to the general public and key healthcare stakeholders. The company also released another EMR-based SaaS for the CMS Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program (HRRP) ValueTrax II. This was followed in 2016 by yet another EMR-based SaaS for the CMS Hospital Acquired Conditions Reduction Program (HACRP) ValueTrax III.
          More importantly, in 2016 the firm moved aggressively into the artificial intelligence (AI) space via emulation of intelligence and applying machine learning, deep learning and artificial neural networks to EMR data. SafeCare AI was born.
          In 2017, the firm released its seven point plan to fixing a broken US healthcare system, and this was submitted to the White House. A year later, The SafeCare Group released its 2018 US Hospitals Performance Report, tracking hospital performance in quality, safety, and efficiency over the last five years.
          Just last year, the company kick-started America's healthcare revolution with AI platforms that predict patient outcomes and offer real-time, clinical decision support, based on dynamic exploitation and immediate statistical analysis of EMR information. 
          At the end of 2019, the firm released its Patient Ratings Application – Rate A Hospital – for patients to connect with great hospitals by sharing actual first-hand care experiences with hospitals.
