ITIJ March and the Air Ambulance Review out now
In this issue of ITIJ, we are focusing on Latin America, insights into insurance broker evolution, Duty of Care changes, and legal challenges for underwriters to bear in mind, as well as the Air Ambulance Review.
While the ITIJ team is heading to Cartagena in Colombia for ITIC Americas, the content in ITIJ reflects the diverse nature of the Latin American region in terms of travel, healthcare provision and quality. Data gathered and analysed by Americas Market Intelligence is shared in great detail in this issue, while elsewhere we look at the provision of quality healthcare in Mexico – where many tourists are heading for a bit of sunshine after so long in Covid isolation. Indeed, as the world emerges from its Covid cocoon, the importance of travel risk management is under the microscope, with articles from Global Guardian and Healix both looking at this important issue for business travellers.
The international hospital community will be keen to read more from New Frontier Group about how many patients are accessing care in the US from other parts of the world, while Fairmount International’s Laura Hilton describes in detail how provider/payer relationships can be improved through better guarantee of payment documents and fair play.
Our interviews this month come from a variety of sources and industries – from the assistance and insurance world, we spoke to Rajeev Shrivastava from Visitors Coverage and Ariel Kasanitz of DavidShield/Passportcard, and from Cedars Sinai Medical Centre, Luis Felipe Arango Pardo shares the latest news.
The ITIJ Air Ambulance Review comes out with the March edition of ITIJ, in which we are covering the topics of innovation and leadership in medical transport, accreditation and when to stay and pay or scoop and run. Case studies will exemplify best practice in the industry, and interviews will offer insights into the latest trends and developments in aeromedical repatriation.
Enjoy this issue, and happy travels if you’re coming to Colombia! See you there!
