Two new books about Medical Tourism on the Market

September 15, 2010

With the medical tourism industry growing by the day, it is not only the potential patients that are looking for valuable and useful information in the multitude of available sources. The healthcare and medial providers are also searching for guidance in their quest of attaining international patients and market their services in the best possible way. Therefore, the president of the Medical Tourism Association, Renee Marie Stephano, along with the industry expert, William Cook, have authored two medical tourism and international healthcare books, that were just released on the market.

The first book is titled Developing an International Patient Center – A Guide to Creating the Best Patient Experience, and is focusing on the international patient departments at clinics and hospitals, and advising them how to create the best practices and the best patient experience for international patient centers.

The second book, titled The Medical Tourism Facilitator – A Best Practices Guide to Healthcare Facilitation for International Patients, is focusing towards opportunities, challenges and issues for a specific branch of the industry; the medical tourism facilitators, also referred to as medical tourism operators.

Renee Marie Stephano says; “In the last few years, I have been requested by many organizations and individuals to provide them with guidelines and references to help them to participate in the industry. The problem was that there weren’t any resources out there for them. Now, these medical tourism books shall play a roadmap and guide for those healthcare providers and facilitators that would like to attract and serve international patients. I am content that eventually these books will help hospitals and facilitators to serve patients better.”

The books have both received excellent reviews so far, and has an important function in moving ahead with global healthcare.
