Consult A Doctor Unveils TeleCare 3.0TM SaaS Telemedicine Platform for Health Plans

Innovative Platform offers powerful solutions designed to drive down costs, increase revenues and provide members with revolutionary 24/7 access to physicians via phone and online.

Miami, FL (PRWEB) June 9, 2010

Today at AHIP Institute, Consult A Doctor, Inc., announced TeleCare 3.0TM, a next generation solution enabling health plans to offer consumer-directed telemedicine services by phone and online. With TeleCare 3.0TM, health plans can lower costs and facilitate care delivery between their physician network and members in new, efficient ways.

TeleCare 3.0TM is a customizable software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform that utilizes the latest advances in internet and digital telephony for heath plans to provide on-demand 24/7 access to their network of physicians. The platform enables the health plan to immediately drive down costs and transform how many healthcare benefits are accessed and delivered. Plan members will have convenient and efficient access to medically equivalent care in a lower-cost setting, the home. Thereby, reducing unnecessary doctor and emergency room visits. “Consult A Doctor’s innovative telemedicine solutions will transform the inefficiencies of the healthcare marketplace and reduce costs for employer-sponsored plans, uninsured and underinsured individuals and families,” says Wolf Shlagman, Founder and CEO. 

Health Plans utilizing Consult A Doctor’s TeleCare 3.0TM Platform can expect to:
Grow Membership - Provide immediate access to a physician 24/7/365 Telemedicine services will be a major differentiator and competitive advantage in the marketplace.

Drive Down Costs by Providing Access to Appropriate Care in Lowest Cost Setting Providing on-demand healthcare in the home, the least expensive care setting, therefore reducing costs for all.

Provide Affordable Access to Healthcare for the Underinsured and Uninsured The TeleCare 3.0 TM platform provides powerful utilization management to provide the right solution to the right population. Health plans can set parameters to define the plan’s financial contribution and member’s out of pocket co-pay.

Strengthen bonds with medical providers Offering new income opportunities and care delivery tools strengthens the relationship between the plan and its network providers. “For physicians, using the TeleCare 3.0TM system is not just about additional income. It provides a way to take back control of their practices, of their lives. It creates additional access points for physicians to interact with their patients. It is a much desired way of streamlining their operations, to get faster and more efficient reimbursement, an improved lifestyle and the freedom to practice from anywhere at any time with powerful online EMR, e-prescribing and evidence based tools. In addition, many physicians believe this technological capability will provide a competitive advantage for their practices,” says Doug Smith, M. D. Chief Medical Officer. All this and comprehensive malpractice coverage is included by a top rated carrier especially for telemedicine delivered via the TeleCare 3.0TM Platform.

Dr. Smith continued, – “providing healthcare in the home, the least expensive care setting, shifts the benefit consumption from more expensive settings, such as physicians' offices, clinics and emergency rooms, therefore reducing cost. This is one of the first and most important steps in healthcare reform and a major step forward toward truly achieving the goal of the Medical Home”.

Consult A Doctor goes one step further than any other solution in the market by offering a unique hybrid option for health plans that combines the power of the TeleCare 3.0TM platform with Consult A Doctor’s existing suite of telemedicine services it has been providing for over 2 years, named CADR 24/7TM. This powerful fusion provides a potent solution unique in the marketplace. "Health plan members will be able access care from Consult A Doctor’s own nationwide network of US licensed board certified physicians as soon as the health plan launches the telemedicine program to its members while physicians from the health plans’ own networks enroll to provide care through the platform as well”, says Shlagman.

“The TeleCare 3.0TM platform combined with on-demand CADR 24/7TM telemedicine services allows consumers to access healthcare anytime online and even more conveniently using any telephone with 3 levels of service to choose from - immediate access to a doctor ”OnCall”, call back of under an hour “Priority” and by “ Appointment.” In addition, we offer a whole suite of concierge-like services that include live support via an 800 number that will guide members in taking a 7-8 minute medical questionnaire over the phone whereby the medical record is available for the physician within the TeleCare 3.0 TM platform”, says Shlagman.

CADR 24/7TM empowers health plans with the option to quickly roll out a telemedicine solution into their markets by initially providing health plan members access to Consult A Doctor’s 24/7 cross-coverage network of always available telemedicine physicians. Accessible from anywhere, around the clock, physicians are available to provide answers and advice regarding non-emergency, preventative, maintenance and routine medical questions and issues. Unnecessary doctor’s office and emergency room visits can be avoided by utilizing a telemedicine physician, who will discuss symptoms, recommend treatment, diagnose many common, minor and/or brief illnesses and even prescribe medication when appropriate. All calls are recorded and the interactions can be forwarded to the primary care physician to maintain continuity of care.

“Health plans are now realizing that they must start to look at innovations in the marketplace in order to lower costs, provide greater access to healthcare, and retain or increase their market share. All of these goals can be accomplished by offering telemedicine solutions such as those provided by Consult A Doctor,” Says Shlagman. The latest studies show phone and online consultations generate significant cost savings for plan sponsors and benefit payers while providing greater access to physicians. Consult A Doctor offers the most comprehensive suite of consumer-friendly telemedicine services available, with multiple convenient ways to contact a doctor and a thorough Personal Health Manager with an expansive health and medical library, wellness tools and a personal health record.

Belly Dancing: Shaking The Fat To A New Fad

Belly Dancing: Shaking The Fat To A New Fad

Belly Dancing has become the new trend in exercise activity. This fun, low impact exercise has Americans of all ages burn fat while improving flexibility. Belly Dance is the new way to stay in shape.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Belly Dancing: Shaking The Fat To A New Fad

SAN DIEGO, Ca. – (July 21, 2003) - Belly dancing used to be considered a foreign and exotic dance performed at harems full of women trying to seduce the Sultan. However, Shakira, the hip shaking Latin singer, Britney Spears and Sting have started a new revolution that has women of all sizes and ages and across the country shaking their bodies to this exotic rhythm. Belly Dancing has become the new trend for people who want to exercise.

Master Belly Dance instructor, performer and choreographer Sahar Sami recently introduced Belly Dance classes as a new alternative to help San Diegans stay in shape. People looking to lose or manage their weight have a chance to use this old art form to help them accomplish their long - term health goals.

It is a surprise that it has taken America so long to embrace belly dance as a form of exercise. It is one of the most fun, low impact, creative, exciting cardiovascular exercises available to people who are tired of boring, harsh exercises. “Belly Dance, formally known as Oriental Dance, offers a complete workout for the body and soul because it allows you to use your creativity” says Sahar Sami, Director of Sahar’s Academy of Egyptian Dance Arts, who teaches Belly Dance at her studio in Carlsbad and at Premier Athletic and Squash Club in Sorrento Valley. “People are tired of aerobics and other types of exercises that are hard on their joints and knees. They are looking for a fun way to stay in shape and to de-stress after a long day of work -- which is why so many people are converting to belly dance as a form of exercise” reaffirms Sahar.

The facts speak for themselves, studies indicate that Americans are 60% fatter than they were 10 years ago. SaharÂ’s goal is to help Americans shake off the fat and improve their health by incorporating belly dance into their weekly activities. People who belly dance for at least a half hour 3-5 times a week will see improvements in their physical appearance as well as their emotional state because belly dance helps reduce stress, improve self esteem, and tone the body.

Four New Authors Appear on Global Talk Radio's September 12 Edition of "A Story to Tell"

Four New Authors Appear on Global Talk Radio's September 12 Edition of "A Story to Tell"

Meet up & coming authors Dawn Van Zant (of Wild Hearth Ranch, Inc.), William Sawyers, Martha Jette and Debbie Alferio for conversations about their new publications on Global Talk Radio's September 12th edition of "A Story to Tell."

Torrance, CA (PRWEB) September 13, 2005

Global Talk Radio (http://www. GlobalTalkRadio. com (http://www. GlobalTalkRadio. com)) is pleased to announce four new authors who appeared in its September 12th edition of its top-rated talk show, "A Story to Tell".

Wild Heart Ranch is a publishing and toy company that designs, manufactures and markets products that are content driven. The CompanyÂ’s focus is in producing high quality innovative products. The Company uses content to create character and brand awareness through its animated CD-Rom and web site, www. WildHeartRanch. com. The original products included the 14" plush No More Night Mares with night light and legend, as well as the 5" Lucky Stars Collection of plush mini horses. Extensions include audio cassettes of the legend and artwork by Kim McElroy. Additionally the company has developed the Armadillo Cowboy Club story and product line through the online arcade game. The website receives substantial internet traffic from online gamers and is building brand awareness for the line. The Company recently launched a new updated website, reflecting a new corporate identity and a growing list of brands.

Next, we heard from children's book author William L. Sawyers, about his most recent titles "What Am I?" and "What Am I? Bugs", written primarily for children from 5 to 8 years old. Riddles are on the front of each page with the answer on the back in color. On the next page, children can color the bug on top of the page and also fill in the missing bug parts on the bottom. It's ideal to be read to them by parents, siblings, grand parents or baby sitters. In return the child should try to guess the riddle.

A new book offering more than 90 amazing but true paranormal tales from around the world has just been released by Canadian author Martha Jette, who phoned into our program. Glimpses 2" It Could Happen To You is perhaps the first such comprehensive book covering every topic from ghosts and hauntings, to angels, visions, dreams, near death experiences, premonitions, reincarnation, ghost hunters, haunted homes and sites, dangers of Ouija boards and much more. Written by Hamilton, Ontario, Canada author, Martha Jette, "Glimpses 2" is the culmination of nine months of research and writing. Ms. Jette is a journalism graduate with many years of magazine and newspaper editing experience. Since retiring due to health problems in 1996, this Canadian grandmother has written three books and is currently working on a fourth.

Finally, Debbie Alferio (author of "A Forever Kind of Love") is a lifelong resident of Northern Ohio. Her interest in writing this novel came after a dream she had one night involving the character of Mitch. Feeling inspired by this dream, she began to write and now views it as her passion. Feeling it important to write in a way that readers could easily relate to, she made each character very realistic and down-to-earth, instilling her own importance of high moral and family values into each one. The relationships between characters, the surprises revealed throughout the story, and the humorous and heartwarming approach to each situation they face makes Debbie’s writing both interesting and entertaining. This is her first novel in the series. She feels that long stories are the best stories. “When you are absorbed in a good book, you don’t want it to end. I like to give that satisfaction to my readers by keeping the excitement going just a little longer.” Also, having lost several relatives to cancer as well as personally knowing many others touched by the disease, Debbie chose to donate a portion of her profits from the sale of each book to the American Cancer Society. In doing so, she hopes that her novel will not only bring enjoyment to those who read it, but will aid in finding a cure for this deadly disease.

The entire show can be heard on-demand 24/7 at http://www. GlobalTalkRadio. com/shows/astorytotell (http://www. GlobalTalkRadio. com/shows/astorytotell)
