This book was released on 2010 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America's legislators have found themselves floundering for an economically tenable solution to the healthcare crisis. Consumer driven health plans (CDHPs) represent a proposed solution based on America's constitutional, liberal roots. The success of the consumer driven health movement relies on the anticipated benefits of better informed healthcare consumer choices and increased associated responsibility. CDHPs--with lower monthly premiums and higher deductibles than traditional plans--should incentivize enrollees to become better-informed, prudent consumers of healthcare by searching the Internet for the cheapest and best providers, insurance plans, and medications. In turn, healthcare costs should decrease and quality of care should increase as providers compete for patients. Potential enrollees' competency to make informed decisions regarding the following five tasks critical to CDHPs were assessed: 1) enrolling in CDHPs, 2) becoming better symptom-based medical decision-makers, 3) learning about preventing and managing common chronic conditions, 4) locating high quality healthcare providers, and 5) curbing spending on medications. Twenty volunteers (10 English-speaking, 10 Spanish-speaking)--all without health insurance, from varying sociodemographic backgrounds--participated in observational usability testing using screen capture software, Morae 2.0. The average Flesch-Kincaid reading level and consistency of information presented on four popular health Infomediaries was also assessed. The results suggest most potential CDHP enrollees don't have the adequate skill sets or online tools to effectively and safely make the informed decisions associated with plan usage. The Infomediaries provided fairly consistent information, but had a mean Flesch-Kincaid grade level of 10.1, well above the recommended sixth to eighth grade level. Most participants used search engines' sponsored links that led to poor quality websites. No participants used the government-produced healthfinder.gov. Home computer access (p=.01) and increased years of education (p=.02) had statistically significant positive effects on performance of the tasks. Age, gender, and primary language were not significant. The renovation of healthfinder.gov, health infomediary websites, a free educational program based in public libraries, and a call for greater responsibility by search engines with regard to sponsored links should result in a more just system that is likely to result in delivery of better quality healthcare in America and greater respect for patient autonomy.

Book excerpt: The direct-to-consumer business model has transformed how people seek out goods and services from music to mortgages. So what happens now that the revolution has come for healthcare? While consumers have begun to insist on healthcare that is as convenient and personalized as nearly every other good or service they purchase, most healthcare provider organizations, physicians, and insurance companies remain woefully unprepared to meet this demand. Choice Matters is the healthcare sector's guide to understanding and delivering the brand of consumer-centered care that is an imperative for the Zocdoc age. Drawing on the authors' diverse backgrounds in medicine, business, and public policy, this practically-oriented resource offers an on-the-ground introduction for clinicians and managers to better understand: Â- The differences between healthcare and other consumer-driven markets Â- What factors are most important for consumers in seeking care providers Â- How consumers make decisions about healthcare Â- The system-wide effects of increased consumer choice in healthcare Â- The important distinction between patients and consumers By celebrating the possibilities inherent to consumer-centered healthcare, Choice Matters offers a refreshing, empirically informed take on how healthcare in the United States can flourish, not wither, in the new economy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book gives the reader a look at the complicated U.S. health care system through the eyes of a consumer. It explores two key questions: Why, with all of the resources that have been devoted to solving the health care crisis, does the situation continue to deteriorate? And, what, exactly, could be done differently this time to turn the situation around? The author examines obstacles that have stood in the way of health care reform in the past - including politics, government red tape, profit-driven providers, moneyed lobbyists and special interest groups and even, our own consumer "entitlement mentality" - and challenges the reader to envision a scenario in which innovation in health care might be possible. The author argues that consumers are the key to forward progress on health care: we'll only see consumer-driven solutions when enough people demand them. This book is a challenge to consumers to speak up and hold our leaders in the medical community, the government and corporate America accountable for developing solutions that work for us. Susan M. Finley is a small business owner and marketing strategist. She began her career as a bank product manager, and in 1994 co-founded Michaelson Kelbick Partners Inc. (MKP), a firm specializing in marketing and communications for the financial services industry. Over the course of a decade, the agency managed marketing communications for some of the largest bank mergers in recent history. In 2003, she left MKP (now renamed mkp communications, inc.). Her knowledge and understanding of the complicated U.S. health care financing system comes from a three-year research and consulting project, started in the hopes of serving as a catalyst for consumer-driven changes in health care. She lives in North Carolina, where she and her husband have recently founded Finley and Finley, LLC, to continue their research on potential avenues for innovation in the health care and financial services industries.

This book was released on 2016-02-18 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the origins of consumerism to the evolution or revolution associated with consumerism in healthcare, this book is a reflective depiction of the past, present, and future of healthcare as it empowers the consumer (patient). The Impact of Autonomy and Consumerism in Healthcare navigates the changing healthcare landscape, navigating some of these changes and what they mean, not only for healthcare delivery, but for providers, suppliers, and consumers. It comments on new healthcare developments, including the mushrooming urgent care centers and walk-in clinics, as well as such technological developments as patient portals in electronic medical records. The book reflects on the challenges of opening up the healthcare infrastructure to the consumer, while raising issues about cyber security, privacy, and litigation. The authors attempt to predict the future, just as many physicians reluctantly do for their patients, in a chapter aptly titled “Prognosis.” The book would not be complete without anecdotes and war stories from the authors’ experiences in the field, presenting surprises and contradictions in their practice of medicine across the USA as immigrant physicians. Hopefully these powerful stories will help untangle the healthcare juggernaut and move toward a more empowered consumer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Consumer healthcare toolkits are critical to drive behavior change and empower consumers. Healthcare toolkits encourage consumer advocacy through interactive approaches. By teaching self-awarenesss and skills to reliably assess personal health, toolkits promote responsible treatment decisions. In this special report, "Healthcare Toolkits: Empowering Consumers Through Education," HIN's panel of experts described the ways healthcare organizations can capitalize on today's consumer-driven healthcare environment by using healthcare toolkits to promote awareness and generate positive returns on investment by helping consumers help themselves. You'll hear from Erin Lenox, associate, Hilb Rogal & Hobbs, Tracy J. Mungeam, managing consultant, Hilb Rogal & Hobbs, and John Mills, director, product development, HIP Health Plans, on how the movement toward consumerism is driving the adoption of healthcare toolkits and how organizations are benefitting from the implementation of various toolkits. This 40-page report is based on the June 15, 2005 audio conference "Consumer Health Toolkits: Providing the Right Tools at the Right Time to Empower Consumers" during which Lenox, Mungeam and Mills described the types of toolkits that healthcare organizations are using, their organizations' initiatives and program results. You'll get details on: Which toolkit development -- inhouse or outsourced -- experts prefer for their organization; How to educate employees on consumer-driven healthcare; How a multi-faceted approach to educating consumers can have multiple advantages; Driving adoption -- six ways to promote consumer awareness; and How healthcare toolkits will be evolving in the future.

Book excerpt: Two Books: Bill Please: Consumers Driving Health Care 480 pages Fill The Gap: Saving Consumer-Driven Health Care 480 pages Inspired by the Choose Your Adventure(r) books he read as a boy, Rylan Klaseen decided to provide two different books with two different calls to action in addressing consumers driving health care: 1) "Bill Please," which calls for consumers to create a "Bill Please" Revolution by posting their medical bills & stories 2) Fill The Gap, which calls for employers as well as consumers to fill the gap caused by Consumer-Driven High Deductible Health Plans with inexpensive gap insurance to ensure we keep moving towards the transparent, accountable, affordable health care system we all desire. Bill Please: Consumers Driving Health Care There are hundreds of books out there by economists, policymakers, journalists, and even doctors trying to fix health care. They are all urgent and necessary because spending over 19% of our GDP on less than the highest quality health care is not sustainable - and, frankly, American citizens deserve better. Rylan Klaseen has a different take than most. As an entrepreneur, and business owner, leading a group employee benefits firm, he's out in the trenches daily assisting employers and employees in riding the waves of health care reform, while innovating the most cost efficient, high quality health plan blends he can. The current state of Americans' health and health care is covered, but there is no blame game here, just very specific calls to action - exactly the type of pragmatic approach you would expect from someone in the thick of it who has to make it happen. In this book, he reveals how we all had a hand in creating our opaque $3 trillion health care system - and how we can all fix it. He proves why consumers must take the wheel if we are to achieve the transparent, accountable, affordable health care system we all want and desperately need. -He calls for consumers to start a "Bill Please" Revolution, enabling all to post medical bills in a collective forum, creating a grassroots push to immediate transparency and accountability. -He calls for providers, and pharmaceuticals to post their prices, their research, and their outcomes in easy-to-understand language. -He calls for insurers to post their premiums and their coverage clearly. -He calls for employers to post their benefit successes. -He calls for entrepreneurs to post their health care innovations and achievements. -He calls for public servants (politicians and academic policymakers) to listen and engage with we the taxpayers, we the consumers, we the people. -He calls for all to join the conversation, leaning forward until we reach our goal. and more... This book is a must read for consumers and imperative for all of the players in our U.S. health care system. The exciting news is that the consumer-driven health care train is leaving the station.

Book excerpt: Customer-centric, market-driven solutions for fixing America’s broken healthcare system—from one of the industry’s most innovative thought leaders. Healthcare accounts for nearly a fifth of the U.S. economy. Everyone agrees that the current system is broken and in desperate need of repair. It should cost less, tackle chronic disease, and promote health. It requires a massive shift in resources from acute services to better care management, behavioral health, and primary care services. The question isn’t what to do. It’s how to do it. The revolution starts by meeting and supporting consumers’ real health needs. It’s time for American healthcare to serve the people. This is The Customer Revolution in Healthcare. Written by leading healthcare strategist and commentator David W. Johnson, this groundbreaking book is more than a wake-up call. It’s a point-by-point action plan to: • Blow up the “Healthcare Industrial Complex” • Liberate data and empower consumers with technology • Promote agile, innovative, and customer-centric “platform” companies • Reduce costs, improve service, and generate superior outcomes • Deliver personalized care with precisions and compassion • Explain and address America’s self-created opioid crisis • Provide affordable and accessible health insurance for all • Turbocharge the U.S. economy • Foster healthier communities Revolutionary healthcare empowers patients and providers alike. Competitive healthcare companies reconfigure inefficient business models to deliver appropriate, accessible, holistic, and reliable care at lower costs. Caregivers engage patients with insight and compassion informed by real-time data and analytics. Payers reward health companies that deliver great outcomes and great service at competitive prices while keeping members as healthy as possible. Investors fund innovative companies whose products and services delight customers. And consumers receive compassionate, affordable, convenient healthcare that meets their needs. Most important, The Customer Revolution in Healthcare provides a robust framework for aligning economic incentives with patient needs to deliver better outcomes at lower costs with superior customer service.

This book was released on 2000 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Consumers are positioned more ever to assume proactive, decision-making roles in healthcare. They are taking more control, as evidenced by self-care, advances in information technology, and the changing dynamic of the patient-provider relationship. Consequently, the impact consumerism is having on the strategy, operations and investment decisions of healthcare organizations within all segments of the industry is becoming more apparent and significant. Connecting with the New Healthcare Consumer is a vehicle through which readers can view and understand the landscape, detailing the ways in which consumers have changed, and how this consumer evolution has impacted various segments of the healthcare industry. Importantly, the book will assist readers in connecting to their customers, whether they are patients, health plan members, or employees, in developing their own consumer-focused strategies. This surge in informed and empowered consumers warrants the need for executives and providers to explore the drivers of the movement and the impact it will have on the business of delivering healthcare, particularly at the point where healthcare services is delivered and where quality is concerned. Connecting with the New Healthcare Consumer: -- Is written by a diverse and experienced group of healthcare leaders who are representative of the major segments in the healthcare industry -- Addresses the multi-level effects of the new, empowered healthcare consumer on many diverse segments of the industry, including providers, payors, health plans, health systems and manufacturers -- Is an informative resource for professionals whose business decisions will ultimately be affected by theconsumer movement -- Is unique in its response to a shifting healthcare marketplace.

He proves why consumers must take the wheel if we are to achieve the transparent, accountable, affordable health care system we all want and desperately need. But, he sounds the alarm that if we are to save consumer-driven health care, we must fill consumers' high deductible gap sooner rather than later, illustrating exactly how to inexpensively accomplish this. A must read for consumers, and all of the players in our U.S. health care system, with a special focus for businesses providing employee health benefits.
