Today's health,
wellness, managed care, and women's health professionals are
increasingly aware of the gaps and challenges in providing
comprehensive healthcare services to women.
That's why "The Future
of Women's Healthcare" was organized. This special teleconference,
featuring three highly respected leaders in the field, focused on new
clinical and health research activities, then looks at what's working
now and what's ahead for women's health programs.
This highly rated
briefing on CD-ROM for those responsible for the administration of
womens' health programs provides details and insight into programs and
plans to enhance our health system's response to womens' health needs
and empower women to make better decisions about their own care and the
care of their family members.
The program covers
sweeping policy changes that coincide with scientific findings, the
importance of women's health from the point of view of a health plan,
and the strategic development and business planning for a
hospital-based women's health program.
The 90-minute program
comes with complete conference materials including slides, charts,
program descriptions, examples, program measures, and incentive bonus
best practices.
You can use the program
for management and staff training or for planning implementation
procedures.
Here's what participants
in the "live" conference said:
"Variety of topics
pertaining to women's health - good flow in presentation; Good
information, well presented," Coordinator of Research &
Development Ohio State University Managed Health Care Systems
"It was an interesting
look at the status of women's healthcare presented by insiders. There
were interesting points raised and the perspectives were different,"
Anna Bjork, Redspring communication
"It speaks to the facts
that there are significant gender differences that need to be addressed
differently than traditional care," participant from Blue Cross of
Northeastern Pennsylvania
"Bonnie hit the nail on
the head - there were 10 women from our organization listening in on
the conference - we already knew these things - perhaps the 'right'
people aren't getting it. Interesting - good time."
"Interesting stats -
thought provoking studies that can be done in our institution."
"Wendy had clear,
precise points."
"Three progressive
speakers whose presentations built on the next."
"Correa-de-Araujo - good
information; structured plan to emphasize importance of women's health;
important issue."
"Recognizing the need
for intervention - other areas not just gynecologic; Brings to light
need for what others need to think about for women."
"Good variety of
business segments: research, health plan, hospital. Quick, to the point
facts. Always good to expand knowledge about women's health."
"Although there was no
time to delve into each topic, there was enough information to whet our
appetites for further investigation."
"The Bonnie Wittman
presentation was very invigorating. She gave good ideas - focus on
specific issues."
"Bonnie Wittman - she
gave us good info and met the topics that were to be addressed.
Non-medical people would really like it."

programs, this management level briefing is tailor-made for you.
You'll get information
you won't find in the general news media or in magazines, high-end
information to help you with planning and for decision-making.
Many women are clamoring
for information, understanding and empathy. Research has helped us
focus on the major unique aspects of women's healthcare delivery:
health risk factors, heart disease, osteoporosis, breast cancer, and
obesity and diabetes.
There is the need for
outreach programs to educate women - educational materials for women
available in physicians' offices; outreach to women through health
fairs, and healthcare guidelines for women.
Women's health is unique
and distinct in terms of how healthcare is organized and delivered,
according to researchers at the Agency for Healthcare Research and
Quality (AHRQ.)
Among the many
women’s health issues, according to the AHRQ:
• Women are
more likely to be underinsured than men.
• Many medical conditions are unique to women.
• On average, women live longer than men and therefore
experience more chronic conditions throughout their lifetime.
• The type of healthcare women receive is influenced by
non-clinical health determinants, such as race, level of education, and
socioeconomic status.
• Women's interactions with the healthcare system are
characterized by fragmentation of services, poor communication with
clinicians, and gender bias in receipt of treatment and services. While
fragmentation of care is not limited to women, it is more pronounced.
