Uber Health’s Post

As a loyal Lyft Pink member and a curious #healthcarexbigtech follower, I am excited to announce my latest episode with Buck Poropatich, Head of Lyft Healthcare on The Pulse Podcast by Wharton Digital Health! This seemingly unconventional combination instantly made sense after our conversations. In this episode, Buck and I chatted about: 🚗Lyft Healthcare’s founding story after the company discovered a hidden product-market fit in the healthcare industry. 🚙How Lyft leverages its core technology stack and driver network, and the importance of customization and rearchitecting to integrate healthcare logistics. 🚗Creative partnerships with companies like Best Buy Health and Instacart Health that have enhanced Lyft Healthcare’s services and expanded their reach in the healthcare space. 🚙Lyft Healthcare’s alignment with the shift towards value-based care, as transportation plays a strategic role in improving care adherence, member satisfaction, and managing total cost of care. 🚗Lyft Healthcare’s goal to address social isolation and loneliness by providing transportation services that enable individuals to engage in social activities and access necessary medical appointments. 🚙Future expansion plans for Lyft Healthcare include expanding their Medicaid footprint, extending their Lyft Assisted product, and leveraging mobile app technology and data modeling to improve the member experience.

Have you seen how they're reimagining access to care over at Uber Health?! 💫 Our favorite rideshare company is looking beyond rides, rentals, and food delivery with the introduction and innovation of Uber Health. Through same-day prescription deliveries, outpatient care coordination and transportation, and home delivery for OTC medications and groceries, Uber Health looks to improve patient outcomes and reduce healthcare costs. 💫 Improving patient outcomes: From non-emergent healthcare appointment transportation to prescription delivery, Uber Health has the ability to make care coordination outside the hospital easier for the patient. Not only does this address the care coordination challenges faced by clinicians and providers like myself, but this also potentially alleviates stress taken on by patient family members. Imagine being able to coordinate primary care visits for your grandmother who lives alone in a different city from scheduling the clinic appointment, to arranging transportation, to the doorstep delivery of time-sensitive medications, and even the delivery of heart-healthy foods from the local grocery store. What's better, Uber Health also offers the ability to utilize health benefit accounts to pay for these services! 💫 Reducing healthcare costs: With more focus on preventative care, there is potential for reduction in the nation's healthcare spending. Uber Health allows collaborative coordination of a patient's outpatient primary care visits because it understands the role preventative medicine plays in the general health of Americans today. Additionally, care gaps are closed and healthcare operations improved when patient access to care is addressed. 💫 I am excited to live in a day and age where I can impact patient satisfaction, well-being, and health outcomes with the introduction of a simple phone app. I enjoy exploring new and innovative ways to leverage technology to address social determinants of health and improve the lives of patients everywhere. 💭 Have you tried Uber Health for your patients or family members? Can apps like Uber and Lyft really play a role in healthcare outcomes for our patients? LINK - https://lnkd.in/gsr_jych #UberHealth #HealthTech #DigitalHealth #SDoH #HealthcareForAll

Uber has officially launched Uber Health, a platform designed to assist patients in reaching their medical appointments, potentially reducing no-shows and improving on-time attendance. Uber Health has expanded its trial program, which involved about 100 healthcare institutions, including well-known hospitals like MedStar Health. Through an online dashboard, healthcare professionals may now book trips for patients. The initiative is HIPAA-compliant and aims to provide a cost-effective alternative to traditional taxi services, especially for smaller healthcare organizations without dedicated transportation resources. By covering over 250 U.S. cities, Uber's healthcare-specific platform significantly expands access to non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT). The effectiveness of ride-sharing services in reducing missed medical appointments is still uncertain, as evidenced by a study published in JAMA Internal Medicine showing minimal difference in appointment attendance between groups offered ride-sharing services and those not. Furthermore, concerns about driver selection and vehicle suitability for patients with special needs persist. While the platform's introduction promises to generate valuable data on its impact, questions about safety and accessibility need addressing to ensure Uber Health meets the specific needs of vulnerable populations. As the healthcare industry embraces technology to address transportation barriers, the ultimate success of Uber Health in improving patient outcomes remains to be seen. https://lnkd.in/gv5inQGV #uber #telehealth #transportation #healthcare #healthcareinnovations #healthcaretechnology #healthandwellness #healthandwellbeing #technology #innovation #healthcaretrends #patientcare #patientcentric #patients #hospitals #healthcareproviders #healthcareprofessionals #healthcaresystems

Helsinki is considering to re-introduce basic public healthcare center fee. There is concern that this will repel some people from getting the needed ward. Instead of a flat fee, could a dynamic pricing model help to avoid this concern. I googled this subject and found https://lnkd.in/dWwQ76Rt One key issue is whether the caregivers would have a strong enough incentive to change behaviour.

Today’s patients want to be in the driver’s seat of their care, turning the patients of decades past into the modern patient-consumer. #Healthcare providers who can learn to see their patients as #healthcareconsumers will soar over the competition. https://lnkd.in/gPVx8PcX #EmpowermentExperienceEngagement #HealthcareConsumerization
