The Brave New Worlds of Wellness and Health Care Management Oct 22 2019 3:00 pm UTC 60 mins
Buff Parham | John Samuels, Better Health Advisors, Inc. | Julie Wald, Namaste New YorkThis session brings together two recognized and seasoned experts to discuss how both wellness practices and holistic health care management are driving better outcomes for individuals.
Given the ever escalating cost of health care, it has become obvious to many that staying healthy and efficiently managing health care needs is the only way forward. The intersection of these realms is an intense focus on the individual being served with a game plan uniquely fitted to his/her particular needs.
The panelists will address:
● What exactly is "holistic" health care management and why is it superior to more traditional approaches?
● What distinguishes "wellness" from our typical understanding of "prevention"?
● How do wellness practitioners and health care managers work together on behalf of a given individual?
● What are the challenges regarding scaling these endeavors given the strong entrenchment of players in the health care industry's status quo?
● How do health insurance companies in particular view and engage with wellness practitioners and independent health care managers? -
