MODESTO,
CA, August 7, 2002
---- MCOL, the business-to-business health management and managed care resource
company, today released version 5.0 of their popular e-learning application, the
Managed Care Training Manual CD-ROM. The new edition contains all new and
updated modules, including: Welcome Video Clip; the Intro to Managed Care
Training Manual with 14 Chapters and optional interactive quizzes; the Advanced
Topics Seminar with 32 selected papers; Managed Care Fact Sheets; Where to Get
More Information; and a Help Section.
Says
Clive Riddle, MCOL President: “Our prior version just included the ‘Intro to
Managed Care’ component, and focused more on training those new to the
industry. By adding the Advanced Topics Seminar and other modules, and updating
the ‘Intro’ component, our new 5.0 release provides a significant resource
that could be widely used throughout an organization.”
The
CD-ROM is available for $69. Detailed information about the CD-ROM and orders
can be placed on the web at: http://www.mcol.com/train.htm.
Phone orders, and corporate site license information can be obtained by calling
209.577.4888.
Riddle
adds, “As we state in the CD-ROM’s video overview, during the 1980s and 90s
there was a classic model of managed care. Now there’s ‘A New Kind of Health
Care’ with such elements as double digit inflation, managed care backlash,
consumerism, HIPAA, e-health, disease management, and so many more issues that
even those who have worked in the industry for a long time will benefit from
understanding the current state of managed care, and how managed care functions
and fits in this new environment.”
The
Intro to Managed Care Training Manual covers 154 pages in Executive-style bullet
sentence format, plus the optional interactive quizzes at the end of each of the
first twelve chapters. The Advanced Topics Seminar covers 100 pages in detailed
narrative, divided into seven sections by subject matter. The Managed Care Fact
Sheets contain eight key slides providing statistical snapshots and graphs on
the state of the managed care industry. Other modules include the Welcome Video
overview; Where to Get More Information with links to key web sites; and the
Help Section with various support resources.
