Using Web Technologies in Consumer-Driven Healthcare for Transparency, Decision Support and Health Promotion

Manasquan, NJ (PRWeb) January 9, 2007 -- Internet technology is playing an increasingly important role in consumer-driven healthcare, a phrase that refers to the healthcare industry's challenge to consumers to make their own decisions regarding which health plan they belong to and which providers they visit. The Internet allows consumers easy access to the information necessary for them to exert greater control over their own health and the healthcare services they access.

To discuss the crucial role of Web technologies in the success of consumer-driven healthcare, the Healthcare Intelligence Network (HIN) is sponsoring "Using Web Technologies in Consumer-Driven Healthcare for Transparency, Decision Support and Health Promotion," a live interactive audio conference on January 25, 2007, at 1:30 p.m. Eastern time. During this 90-minute audio conference, industry experts will provide an overview of how healthcare organizations are providing online tools to ensure that consumers have the information they need to not only take more responsibility for their health status, but also to get the right treatment at the right time at the right place.

They will describe how their organizations are using Web technologies to support their consumer-driven healthcare plan's needs for transparency, decision support and health promotion.
