One of the things that is able to inform my views as a blogger is the actual business that I am President of, Best Doctors. In that role, I see every day the ways in which patients and doctors, employers and hospitals, insurers and the government deal with our health care system.
Since the fall, all of the major players in health care have been hit by not only an economic crisis, but also by the most significant health care reform effort in nearly 20 years. As a business, we want to know what these things mean to employers. What are they doing about their health insurance and benefits? How are they changing their strategies for dealing with employee health?
From time to time, we commission surveys and then host (free!) events to share the insights we gain from them. I want to invite you to our next event, a webinar happening Wednesday June 24th, 2009 (2:00pm EST/ 1pm CST/ 11am PST).
In the webinar I will present data from our most recent survey of more than 100 major US employers. We commissioned an independent research organization, which asked dozens of questions relating to the design of their benefits programs, strategies they are deploying to contain costs and improve employee health, and their views on the years to come. I will present some related Best Doctors data as well. I’m co-hosting it with Delia Vetter, Senior Director of Benefits of EMC Corporation, which is a Best Doctors client. Delia will present a case study on her company’s approach to employee health and health care costs. She is a terrific speaker and advocate for employee health. There will be an opportunity for Q&A at the end of the session.
We already have a large number of attendees for this free webinar. Registration is easy but is required in order to join, so please click on the link below to join us.
I look forward to having you aboard on the 24th.
