I’m speaking this morning at the 23rd Annual Benefits Forum and Expo. This is one of the premier events in the health care benefits industry, and it’s a thrill for me to be the opening speaker on the “Health Care” track.
I’m presenting along with Charlie Salter, the VP of Benefits of ConAgra, one of our customers at Best Doctors. The talk Charlie and I will give is called “Real Results: When Individuals are in Control of their Health Care.”
As regular readers know, good things happen when people are in control of their care. They have a chance to make sure they’re not one of the 20% of people that end up with an incorrect diagnosis, or the more than 60% of people that end up with the wrong treatment. It’s the single most powerful thing you can do to make sure your health care experience is as good as it can possibly be.
It’s something that more and more highly innovative companies like ConAgra are making the core of their health care benefits programs. Not only does it improve the quality of care for their employees, it also saves the company significant amounts of money – real dollars – by avoiding misguided care.
Visit back later, I’ll share some observations after the talk.
