We are changing from a third party healthcare system to consumer driven system, where patients are in the drivers seats! And this certainly fuels the growth for global healthcare.

Reminds me of a recent post and quiz, “are you a good patient”, looking at tips on how patients can advocate for their own care, rather than be a patient their doctor likes.

]]> Comment on Medical Tourism: Planning for the worst by Joe http://medvoy.com/blog/medical-tourism-planning-for-the-worst/#comment-31 Fri, 04 Sep 2009 02:50:41 +0000 http://medvoy.com/blog/?p=46#comment-31 I have gone through an international medical evacuation process (not medical tourism related) for one of my family member in the past. It took almost two months of rigorous planning that involved dealing with hospitals on both ends and making sure how various things such as – medical record transfer, availability of oxygen & medicines upon airlift, domestic, internatioanl airline / immigration approval, continous monitoring of vital condition while cruising up different altitude – are taken care.

Can’t agree more with what you say….Planning for all possible scenarios is a very very important process of facilitation. Whether its an outbound (going from U.S to intl ) or inbound (other countries to U.S. ) or domestic (state to state) medical touris, I would suggest folks out there to work with a facilitator who has well thought through their medical tourism process.
