Issues inside health care not addressed in health care reform

Oct 27 2009

Everyone is talking about health care reform but no one is addressing the inside of health care, where the problems really lie. The question we should be asking is: Can you really trust your doctors and their staff to do what's right for you?

Health care consultant, author, and world-class speaker Wendy Lipton-Dibner, M.A. asserts that one of the key factors that drives up health care costs and sabotages patient care is poor communication and cooperation between doctors, staff, and patients. "I've seen the best and the worst of health care," Lipton-Dibner explains. "Health care reform is an inside job. It just can't succeed until people in the health care field learn how to work effectively together." She points out the growing trend in health care in which people-problems are causing the loss of millions of dollars and countless lives.

Invite Lipton-Dibner to discuss the problems in health care that no one is discussing. She'll tell your audience the top 10 things to look for to determine whether their doctors are doing what's right for them (and what to do when something is missing) and provide industry secrets to questions such as:

• Who's more afraid, you or your doctor?
• How can you get outstanding care in only 6 1/2 minutes?
• How are angry health care workers costing you money?
• When do hospitals put you and your family at risk, and what can you do about it?
• How are patients causing health care costs to increase?
• Why do some doctors want to hang up their stethoscopes and flip hamburgers?
