MedTouch, a leading provider of interactive, web-based solutions for healthcare organizations, announced today a special webinar to explore the issues surrounding the global financial crisis and its impact on healthcare. (more on MedTouch http://www.medtouch.com)
“Bonds, investments, and charitable giving have been keeping the doors of many U.S. hospitals open,” said Paul Griffiths CEO of MedTouch. “All three will be impacted significantly by the upheaval in the stocks, the freezing of commercial lending, and dramatic changes in the bond market.
“We decided to put together a webinar outlining these issues in an attempt to engage the larger healthcare community. Although our primary business is focused on helping hospitals, doctors, and health plans succeed online, we have mounting concerns that government monies needed to shore up the healthcare system are being spent now on the banking system.
“Our hope is to foster a greater understanding of how the financial earthquakes of the past month may be felt by healthcare payor and providers in the coming year.”
The webinar, entitled “The Impact of Global Financial Crisis on Healthcare,”
The webinar is scheduled to last 45 minutes and there is no cost to attend. Anyone may register at http://www.medtouch.com/
