The best way to think of Health Consultation Services is to think of it as the AAA club of the healthcare future. As you know, the AAA does not sell you a car, nor do they actually repair your car, they simply make your entire driving experience better via the services they provide. Similarly, Health Consultation Services does not diagnose you, nor do we treat you, we make your healthcare experience better by educating everyone involved. Whether it be answering little questions; sitting with you while the doctor speaks with you; instructing you, your family and hospital staff on recovery training that is specific to your needs; selecting a nursing home; discussing prescription or non prescription meds, homeopathics or herbs; questions on treatment options; or whatever your healthcare problem is, we are here to make your healthcare experience the best it can be. |

We'll work closely with you and your healthcare providers to resolve issues quickly. What's more, you'll be able to tap into a wealth of knowledge and experience.
What patient advocates do
Some readers may equate patient advocacy with case management. The difference is both philosophical and real: Patient advocacy centers on patient education and on facilitating movement toward optimal recovery, rather than on enforcing restrictions and controlling utilization. The typical patient advocate's job is to teach your patients about their health, wellness and treatment options, while speaking for the patients decision and supporting the patient in that decision. The typical case manager's primary function is to prevent the allocation of more resources to an enrollee than are established in the organization's budget by following patients through inpatient stays, rehabilitation and therapeutic treatment. Often the case manager makes the final decision, while a patient advocate only educates, allowing the patient to make all the decisions.
Hire a Health Counselor
With Health Consultation Services you'll have access to expert advice through the Health Counselor. Your counselor can help you with everything from understanding your disease process, to treatment options as well as how to achieve that option which best fits your needs and decisions. Your counselor places you back into the drivers seat in making your healthcare decisions by advocating for you, supporting you and providing you more than one choice. Your counselor can guide you through the healthcare system and point you in the right direction when you have questions.
Knowledge-based monitoring and therapy planning systems were mainly initiated for the convenience of health care providers. They neglect the consumers of health care, namely, the patients. Health Consultation Services is designed to be an educator for patient-centered health care. Consultations represent treatment and recovery options and are used to guide the patient in knowledgeable decision making, to provide necessary explanations, and serve as a patient advocate between patient, family and healthcare provider. In turn changing the old model and coming into line with the 21st century.
