1b. In acknowledgement that any person who's achieved success or experienced failure has information of value to share, the database would accommodate all health successes and failures; including those that occur outside the standard health system. Any individual could opt to submit their health story details, that is; how they achieved success or how they failed (what they learned) - so they may contribute to the volume of knowledge. Submissions would be 'weighted' accordingly but would attract higher 'weighting' with regard to public health benefits or risks, or when the volume of corroborating testimonies increased.
1c. The framework would be governed by systems and processes that promote equity and quality, and guard against infiltration of conflict of interest, commercialisation, or bias to maintain database integrity and protect this valuable investment in the future health of all.
1e. Database searches (non-personalized details only) would be freely accessible to all, including health researchers, analysts, and the general public. Names and addresses would be protected by law, secured, and shielded in a separate database - and would therefore not be accessible via search, however; special dispensation could be given for a rare event - such as research or analysis that indicates a major public health benefit or risk necessitating deeper analysis, evaluation or validation.

When Health Systems are documenting and freely sharing all successes and failures, including patient contributions, quality and productivity from the same limited health resources will be dramatically enhanced and people will suffer less.
