NASHVILLE, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Yale Miller, executive vice president of Aegis Health Group, will be a featured guest on HealthCare Consumerism Radio this Friday, April 25, at 11:15 a.m. EDT. During the program Miller will explore how hospitals need to embrace consumerism as they implement population health management programs.
“As consumers are becoming more and more discerning in the healthcare process, hospitals and health systems have a golden opportunity to proactively engage community members – even before they become patients,” said Miller. “Healthcare providers, employers and consumers are all looking for ways to improve health and lower costs; and now is the perfect time for health systems to place themselves at the forefront of the solution.”
Miller’s comments will be based in part on a new Aegis thought paper entitled “Population Health 2.0: The Age of the Consumer,” which is available at no charge at www.AegisGroup.com. In the paper Aegis examines the impact of population health management initiatives, rich data collection, hospital/employer relationships, and key industry trends on healthcare consumerism.
“The Affordable Care Act has spurred many healthcare leaders to intensify their efforts to improve community health and drive proper utilization of hospital programs and services,” added Miller. “Now it’s time to take these efforts to the next level and engage consumers in ways that are convenient, relevant, impactful and measurable.”
The Institute for HealthCare Consumerism is the only multi-platform, collaborative environment focused exclusively on innovative health and benefit management. Its radio show helps listeners learn about the latest trends and best practices in healthcare consumerism and connect with healthcare thought leaders in making the system work better for everyone.
