Tuesday, November 10, 2015Join in the healthcare conversation on SIRIUSXM Channel 111 - the Wharton business channel! A panel of experts will discuss 'Do Patients Really Shop for Care?'.
We have a great opportunity to spread the word via national radio on the great things being done in the healthcare field by Wharton HCM alumni and by our program. That is where you come in. For those WHCMAA dues paying members, we are offering the opportunity for you to join in the conversation on live national radio to discuss various healthcare topics. Although in a one-hour show the call-in parts will be limited, we want those parts to be strong and substantive; so we’re lining up WHCMAA audience members (i.e. you) who can add value to various healthcare topics.
Our next radio session, Do Patients Really Shop for Care?, will be Tuesday, November 10th from 12:00pm to 1:00pm EST. Please note that the topic is subject to change.
Consumerism is often suggested as a panacea for high health care costs, but recent studies suggest giving patients "skin in the game" may cause them to stint on care, not price compare. On this episode of The Business of Health Care, our panel of experts will tackle consumerism as a method of keeping costs down, discuss the state of price and quality transparency, and try to answer the question "do patients really shop for care?"
