06 June 2021
The International Journal of Health Planning and Management features an article by  Irving Stackpole, Elizabeth Ziemba, Tricia Johnson, titled:

Looking around the corner: COVID-19 shocks and market dynamics in US medical tourism. 

ARTICLE ABSTRACT

Patients have historically travelled from across the world to the United States for medical care that is not accessible locally or not available at the same perceived quality. The COVID‐19 pandemic has nearly frozen the cross‐border buying and selling of healthcare services, referred to as medical tourism. Future medical travel to the United States may also be deterred by the combination of an initially uncoordinated public health response to the pandemic, an overall troubled atmosphere arising from widely publicized racial tensions and pandemic‐related disruptions among medical services providers. American hospitals have shifted attention to domestic healthcare needs and risk mitigation to reduce and recover from financial losses. While both reforms to the US healthcare system under the Biden Presidency and expansion to the Affordable Care Act will influence inbound and outbound medical tourism for the country, new international competitors are also likely to have impacts on the medical tourism markets. In response to the COVID‐19 pandemic, US‐based providers are forging new and innovative collaborations for delivering care to patients abroad that promise more efficient and higher quality of care which do not necessitate travel.

Communicating with your patients and customers is always important but even more so during the COVID-19 pandemic. Consistent, clear, and accurate communications dispel fear while growing and securing trust, loyalty, and referrals. How can this be accomplished during a pandemic? Social media channels are the expected tools of communication for effective and affordable engagement with current and prospective patients. Social media can help you deliver the right messages at the right time to the right people to build your dental practice.

This web-seminar is your opportunity to learn how dental practices, despite the pandemic lockdowns, continue to leverage social media, fostering relationships with their audiences to encourage COVID-19 safe visits, referrals, and new client inquiries.

Webinar for Society of Licensed Nursing Home Administrators
3 hour live webinar on Thursday, 17 December, 2020
9:00 AM EST – 12:00 PM EST

A new social contract for long-term care: Responding to changing science and demographics

Among the things that should be apparent to everyone as a result of the way, COVID-19 has ravaged the nursing home sector is that a new social contract for long term care is needed. Social contracts are agreements (overt or unspoken) between and among the members of society (individuals and organizations like corporations), and the government. The current social contract for long term care is pretty simple: if you have money, you can pay for what you want, and if you don’t have money, it’s possible to get the social safety net to pay for what you need.

This program looks at the current arrangements for long term care, and then considers how this social contract could be made more rational, and future-proofed in the wake of the global pandemic.

The session includes time for Q&A

The first concern of the organizers is the health and well-being of our delegates, sponsors and speakers. The worldwide travel disruptions have created challenges we could not have anticipated.

Everything is about to shift – from how consumers access their doctors, to how outcomes are measured, and how we collectively define “health”.
