OCTOBER 8: You can be a part of that discussion.
Wood River Health Services will be hosting the broadcast of an important new documentary on healthcare in the US, ESCAPE FIRE: The Fight to Rescue American Healthcare, followed by an interactive web cast of a panel discussion on the film.
An official selection at Sundance , Escape Fire has won awards at film festivals across the country. It was purchased and presented on CNN earlier this summer, but they have released it for community showings.
The film was
called "compelling," "provocative and often disturbing,"
and "an unparalleled unflinching and quite frankly unflattering look at
one of the most pressing American contemporary issues," by critics, who
also said it "should be seen as the starting point for a mature new debate
on the subject."
The web panel, with Dyana Koelsch as moderator, will include RI Health Center Association CEO Jane Hayward, Blue Cross Blue Shield of RI CEO Peter Andruszkiewicz, RI Foundation CEO Neil Steinberg, and Care New England CEO Dennis Keefe, among others.
There is an additional
motivator for healthcare professionals to see the movie:
"In an unprecedented
professional education opportunity, watching the film will qualify for two
(2) Prescribed CME credits from the American Academy of Family Physicians
(AAFP), which can translate via reciprocity into American Medical Association
(AMA) Category 1 credits. For CNE credits, the film will qualify for one and
half (1.5) CNE credits from Nurse.com. This
is a unique chance for healthcare providers from around the country to join the
millions tuning in to elevate and deepen the national dialogue about our
healthcare system and our role in leading it out of crisis."
