Plymouth Meeting, PA (PRWEB) February 10, 2014
Health Advocate, Inc., the nation’s leading independent healthcare advocacy and assistance company, has partnered with the Greater Philadelphia Business Coalition on Health to present “The Value of Integrated Population Health: Why Chronic Conditions Still Matter to Employers” on Wednesday, February 19, 2014 at the Health Advocate headquarters in Plymouth Meeting, PA.
“Effectively coordinating care for a population with multiple chronic conditions is critical to improving health outcomes and managing utilization and costs,” says Es Nash, M.D., Health Advocate’s Vice President and Medical Director for Comprehensive Care Programs, and featured presenter for the event.
Employers, health plans, brokers and businesses concerned about the impact of chronic conditions on the health of their employee population, and their bottom line, should attend. The agenda will cover an overview of “population health” from the employer perspective in 2014; the role of chronic condition management in population health (and design features that work); and how integration fuels employee engagement in population health.
Attendees will also be presented with an example of an integrated model to empower health consumers, and hear from employers who have implemented this approach.
