An interesting look at the first month's results of Uber Health's support of non-emergency patient transportation to health department appointments. The program aims to reduce the 50% no-show rate at some rural Mississippi health department appointments.

10moI know this is in the early stages, but I'm excited to see the project get underway. I love seeing the creative ways rural communities are trying to solve non-compliance. Additionally, more coordinated treatment and automation, like dispensing at the point of care, could help reduce the number of trips for a patient, helping stretch grant dollars in programs like this.
