Health Risk Assessments and Health Coaching Combinations That Get Consumers' Attention in a Changing E-Landscape

The abbreviated attention spans of multitasking healthcare consumers who more selectively filter the communications they receive are causing healthcare organizations to refine health risk assessments (HRAs) and the health coaching that often ensues. This September 26, 2007 audio conference from the Healthcare Intelligence Network (HIN) will examine how Internet-influenced consumer habits and trends impact the collection of health risk data and the shape of follow-up coaching initiatives.

Manasquan, NJ (PRWEB) July 18, 2007 -- The Internet's influence on consumer trends is impacting the collection of health risk data and the health coaching sessions that may be dictated by the HRA results. This poses a challenge to healthcare organizations, who have limited opportunities to assess and engage consumers before they are distracted by a competing message.

"Health Risk Assessments and Health Coaching: How the Web and Consumer's Expectations Are Changing the Landscape" is a 45-minute live audio conference from HIN scheduled for September 26, 2007 at 1:30 p.m. Eastern. The audio conference will help healthcare organizations design HRAs that invite completion and fashion a supporting coaching plan that engages the client and elicits the desired behavior change.

QUOTES ATTRIBUTABLE TO MELANIE MATTHEWS, HIN EXECUTIVE VP AND COO:
"With Web 2.0 and new media vying for our attention, healthcare organizations have to work harder to differentiate their consumer communications, especially when the message can impact personal health the way HRAs and health coaching can. Customizing content to the patient or client and delivering it in a variety of channels can better the chances of getting the consumer's attention and effecting positive behavior change."
