Kathleen O’Connor, health care industry analyst and journalist, founded
CodeBlueNow! upon the belief that the public has a right to be involved
in creating its own health care policy. Involved in healthcare for 30 years, she
shares her unique ability to communicate current health care topics in
a language everyone can understand.
We visited three blogs on December 12th and found three absolutely wonderful posts that are well worth reading.
Health Care Reform Now! - This is the blog associated with George Halvorson's book Rx Health Care Reform Now!, in which he advocates for our approach: consensus building!
Health Commentary - Guest blogger on Health Commentary talks about that $618 million from the UnitedHealth Group former chief executive and how it really all comes down to self-interest and a loss of community.
Health Populi - Health Populi talks about “medical credit scores” and challenges of consumer-driven health care and whether hospitals will use this information prior to patients admission to hospitals.
This last one is hair raising in terms of implications for patient care!
I urge you to read these pieces and share them widely.
Best and more later. Kathleen
