Health Dialog Featured in Reader’s Digest

Health Dialog, a leader in providing individuals the information and support they need to become more involved in their healthcare, is featured in the April 2009 issue of Reader’s Digest.  As the cost of healthcare increases, Health Dialog remains steadfast to the mission of  reducing healthcare costs by fostering well-informed relationships between patients and providers through its ground-breaking Health Coaching program.  Health Dialog provides members with evidence-based, unbiased medical information, and helps members become more informed and engaged in the management of their care.  The Health Coaching program helps members prepare for their physician visits and assists them to consider their individual preferences and values when making medical decisions.

Integrated Healthcare is proud to offer Health Dialog’s services as part of our Consumer Driven Healthcare Platform, aligning ourselves with the Shared Decision-Making® methodology, based on the concept that when individuals are more actively engaged in managing their care, they are more fulfilled, leading to improved quality and reduced costs for both employee and employer.
