Galen Institute to hold Consumer Driven Health Care briefing
While you might not be able to attend the briefing in person, it will be available online at www.kaisernetwork.org approximately 6 hours after the event:
Please join the Galen Institute for a briefing on Consumer Driven Health Care: Physicians Respond
Two trends are prompting physicians to re-think the way they practice medicine.
- The growing burden of regulations and the administrative hassles of third-party payment have left physicians frustrated and dissatisfied.
- The growing number of self-pay patients has made physicians realize they can serve patients independent of third-party payments.
These two developments have launched a new movement of independent and innovative medical practices that bypass the managed care bureaucracy and serve patients directly. This briefing will feature some of the pioneers in the movement, all of whom are taking different approaches to serving a new market.
