What is quality health care and how can you be sure you receive it?

Join us for the next free DocTalk seminar on June 28th.

 

Did you know consumers with coronary artery disease receive the recommended care only about two-thirds of the time? And asthma and diabetes patients only about half the time? While most of us assume we’re getting quality health care most of the time, studies show that overuse, misuse and underuse of drugs, tests and medical procedures is common.

 

Join our new DocTalk host, Dr, Ray Morales, national medical director for Lumenos health plans, for a discussion on hospital and physician quality, as well as the attributes to look for in a quality physician, medical practice or hospital. And most important, find out how this information can have a big impact on the care you and your family receive.

 

DocTalk online health seminars explore the ways you can live longer and feel better – by making simple changes in your daily life. They’re not only live, they’re interactive – so you can listen, ask questions and interact with other plan consumers.

 

The lunch time session on June 28th is scheduled for 12:00 Noon Eastern Time and again at 12:00 Noon Pacific Time.

You’ll need to reserve a spot prior to each session. To register now, visit doctalk.webex.com (no www), select the session that interests you and follow the registration instructions. We’ll send you an e-mail reminder before the day of the seminar with info on how to log in to the Webcast and dial in to the teleconference.

 

Sign up early, participation in each session is limited to the first 300 consumers to register.

About jknowles

Hi, I'm Jason and I've always been very active (softball, running marathons, Judo) and will try just about any sport or activity at least once - my long term goal is to compete in an Ironman triathlon before I turn 40 (only a year and a half left...). Taking personal responsibility for one's health has always been a guiding principle of mine, so much so that I've been able to help some close friends adopt healthier lifestyles. Through unique approaches to health, such as Ignite, I get to share my own experiences and learn from you. After all, regardless of who our employer is, we're all health care consumers.
