75 Million Missed Work Days Expected This Flu Season
More than 97 million(1)
cases of the flu are reported annually, financially challenging working
families by the loss of wages caused by missed work days. QuickHealth meets
the challenge by providing updated information and guidance to patients and
their families -- in language -- to clarify treatment options and to help
them make better healthcare decisions.
"The wealth of information available during the flu season can be
daunting and confusing to someone affected by flu," stated QuickHealth
Chief Medical Officer Paul Gorman. "The flu is not only a physical illness.
The financial ramifications affect working families throughout California.
This is where QuickHealth can play a vital role in helping patients avoid
the flu or by properly treating a flu diagnosis."
Government health statistics report show that 15 million to 60 million
Americans are affected by the flu each year, with as many as 70 million
missed workdays. With median weekly earnings of $675, un-paid sick leave
costs an employee $135 per day.
To help patients and their family be better prepared to manage the flu,
QuickHealth has created a simple patient and family support guide:
1. Be an active participant in your healthcare. Speak to your doctor or
a QuickHealth doctor about revised guidelines around who should receive the
flu shot. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends
that everyone should be vaccinated, especially children 6 months and up,
pregnant women, people who live with and care for those at high risk for
complications from the flu and people with certain types of chronic
conditions, including diabetes.
2. Get this year's flu vaccine. The flu is a highly contagious
respiratory illness with potentially serious complications. The flu vaccine
changes every year so last year's flu shot does not protect you against
this year's flu season.
3. Wash your hands. The most important thing you can do to prevent
illness or to stop it from spreading is to wash your hands frequently to
prevent the transmission of viruses and bacteria.
4. If you suspect you have the flu, consult your doctor early on for
the best treatment. Stay at home, get lots of rest, drink plenty of fluids
and avoid alcohol and tobacco.
"QuickHealth provides flu shots to patients 6 months and older, seven
days a week, with extended hours with no appointment necessary," added
Gorman. "QuickHealth licensed professionals will treat patients quickly,
conveniently and with less expense than visiting a traditional doctors
office -- whether or not the patient has insurance."
