DENVER, CO (March 17, 2010) –
Denver-based non-profit Colorado Thought Leaders Forum today hosted a
timely event, "Making Sense of the Healthcare Initiative.” The event
was held at the Denver Athletic Club. A capacity-filled room of 50
C-Level, Colorado business leaders attended the forum. A portion of the
tickets were donated to Here’s Life Inner City-Denver.
The
Forum was moderated by Michael Doyle of Brand Iron Marketing, and
included panelists, Christine Bartel, CEO of Infinite Health &
Wellness; John Chenier, Senior Benefit Consultant of HUB International
Insurance; and, Dr. Matthew Daley, Physician at Kaiser’s Institute for
Health Research & Associate Professor at University of
Colorado-Denver. It was a diverse panel representing physicians,
employee benefits and healthcare consultants.
The interaction
between the panelists and audience was very lively and the opinions
strong, however most left with at least one new healthcare takeaway
that should help their businesses.
There was one common
agreement amongst the panelists that those with chronic health issues
can receive better prevention and healthcare by increasing
collaboration between physicians and home-care specialists, which
should reduce hospital visits and Medicare expenses. This new
collaboration should lower overall costs. All agreed this could be
accomplished without a major reform.
"The incentives should
be centered on prevention.” said Dr. Matthew Daley, when asked about
improving the current state of healthcare. John Chenier addressed if
there can be a return on investment measurement of the proposed
healthcare reform by stating, "Benchmarking healthcare reform versus
the current situation will be nearly impossible to measure.”
Participants
of the forum were offered an opportunity to discuss their largest
concern with the initiative amongst their peers, and then presented the
concerns to the panelists for debate. Michael Donner, President of
Pridemark Paramedic Services, challenged the panel over cost concerns
for providing 911 emergency care services.
