Solving the Most Frustrating Part of Marketing
June,13,2013 by+John Jantsch

I’ve spent the better part of the last 10 years telling any small business owner that would listen that marketing isn’t really that complicated.
What’s complicated and frustrating about marketing perhaps is how small business owners and those that work in the field of marketing think about it.
The Marketing Hourglass Marketing is just a system and, operated as such, it isn’t any different from many of the other systems needed to run a business. A system creates control, a system guides priorities, a system creates process, a system generates accountability and a way to measure and win the game.

mHealth could save Europe billions in health costs

June,10,2013 by+Greg Slabodkin

Over the next four years, the European Union could realize cost savings of almost 100 billion euros and add 93 billion euros in gross domestic product by embracing mobile health solutions, based on results from a GSMA report.
An executive summary of the report, commissioned by the GSMA and written by PricewaterhouseCoopers, states that mHealth can limit the healthcare and economic burden by making chronic care more effective and healthcare resources more efficient. According to the report, mHealth in Europe could reduce care costs for chronic conditions by 30 to 35 percent through improved treatment compliance and remote patient monitoring. In addition, by using mHealth, the report asserts that 185 million patients across the EU can be treated more effectively, preventing 589,000 incidences of chronic diseases.

Congress Frets About Navigators Veering Off Course

June,07,2013 by:+Bruce Shutan

In a recent congressional hearing, several Republican lawmakers questioned the role of so-called navigators and assisters who are expected to help educate and enroll millions of uninsured Americans in public health insurance exchanges.
The House Committee on Government Oversight and Reform featured a spirited discussion about the qualifications of these individuals. For example, Rep. James Lankford (R-OK), chair of the Subcommittee on Energy Policy, Health care, and Entitlements, wondered whether the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) “mandated criteria” for navigator program applicants.

Jiff wants to do for employer wellness programs what WordPress did for blogs

June,11,2913 By:+Stephanie Baum

Although workplace wellness companies are estimated to be a $6 billion industry in the U.S., there has been some disappointing news that they are not well subscribed by employees and can produce lackluster results. But Jiff, a health IT startup, is seeking to change that. It has a platform that helps employers and health plans digitize and scale up their wellness programs to speed up adoption and increase participation. It’s also working with Towers Watson (NYSE:TW) to test and market an employer wellness program, according to a company statement.

Pediatric care benefiting from the advantages of telemedicine
June,11,2013 by:+Emily Huizenga

As they move out of pilot initiatives and into implementations, telemedicine projects are taking a star role in pediatric care models across the country, a seemingly natural fit for extending the reach of scarce subspecialists beyond the four walls of their offices.
Telemedicine care works the same -- mostly -- for pediatric patients as it does for adults -- save for a slightly different approach to "looking into a little kid's ears" as opposed to a grown-up's, said Dr. Neil Herendeen, associate professor in the University of Rochester's department of pediatrics.

A pediatrician explains how to make patient engagement a partnership not a dictatorship
June,05,2013
by+Stephanie Baum

Many of the patient engagement discussions I hear tend to be focused on how to get patients to do what they’re told and how to get physicians to listen to their patients. So it was great to hear pediatrician Dr. Ivor Horn from Children’s National Medical Center bridge the gap in a panel discussion at the ENGAGE conference by talking about how she views engagement as a partnership.

Addressing a packed room at the Health Privacy Summit in Washington, D.C., this week, U.S. Chief Technology Officer Todd Park emphasized the importance of federal efforts to engage patients in their own healthcare.
"We're in the middle of a huge cultural shift to get patients access to their records," Park said. "Patient engagement--to quote Leonard Kish--may be the blockbuster drug of the 21st Century. This will vastly improve our healthcare system."

Mayo doc: Stop blaming patients. Healthcare industry’s take on non-compliance is all wrong
June,05,2013
by:+Deanna Pogorelc

Dr. Victor Montori used this image to illustrate what he, as a physician, sees as the biggest problem in healthcare.
It depicts a tactic that coal miners used to use to detect when dangerous gases were present in the air. When a canary sent into the mine stopped singing, they knew toxic gases had leaked into the mine.
In this Mayo Clinic doctor’s mind, patients are the canaries, and when they stop singing – or in this case, when they stop complying with what their doctors have recommended or stop going to the doctor to begin with — the healthcare system has become toxic.

7 Ways to Attract Lots of High Quality Links in the Age of Authority
Jun 3 2013
By:+John Jantsch

Links back to your site from other sites give Google a potentially important signal – “Hey, I’m a human being and I think this is good stuff.” – that’s something Google can’t do with a spider and even better if the site in question is already known to Google as a trusted source.
Links have always been important, but in the past it was just about getting lots of them. The “more is more” approach led to gaming and buying and other unnatural types of acts.
