Selling Patients like Baseball Players – Seriously

By Staff ReportersFuture Physicians

Here is a health care reform strategy that we have not heard of before. It was formulated by healthcare futurist Joe Flowers, and is reposted below for your review.

It first posits this question, and then gives a plausible answer, with unique new operational strategy.

Question

Why aren’t health plans more aggressive in promoting the long-term health of their members, like getting them to eat better, stop smoking, get a little exercise, and all that?

Answer

Because of health insurance industry “churn”

Strategy

Give Joe’s idea a read and tell us what you think?
