MANASQUAN NJ USA -- HEALTHCARE UPDATE NEWS SERVICE(TM) -- MAY 18, 2006: With the advent of consumer-driven healthcare plans, more health plans and hospitals are publishing quality and performance ratings on their web site. While the public reporting of healthcare quality data is voluntary, more and more organizations are making this data available and some believe it is just a matter of time before it is mandatory.

During this 90-minute audio conference, your expert panel of speakers, Paul L. Green, principal with Greenlight Healthcare Consulting and Christine Profit-Orok, project leader of cost and quality at Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts, will provide inside information on why organizations should consider publicly posting performance data and the steps to take to launch public report cards.

During "Healthcare Report Cards: How To Get an A+ in the Public Reporting of Healthcare Quality Data," you will get inside details on how to structure quality report cards and the impact that this can have on a healthcare organization's business.
