Virtual Care Continuum the New Care Landscape by RaeAnn Grossman
Waiting times are up. The care journey is confusing. Costs are not clear to patients nor is coverage. These are all comments we hear about the current health care system. Today, Wick LLC is working with several start ups and high growth companies that are looking to change all this. Wick is creating go-to-market plans, productization and approaches to layer them into the health plan network in a thoughtful manner which drives efficiency and high quality care. Here are the elements of the companies we are being to market:
* Care chat (applications that text chat connecting patient to diagnostic AI or a nurse in seconds)
* Video care (video virtual visits with doctors or NP for diagnoses, treatment, and/or referrals)
* Mobile care (nurses or caregivers that are dispatched to patients home or office for an in-person exam, testing or treatment
* Care courier (prescription delivery to patients home or office within hours of need or refill)
What is fueling this high growth and continuum creation? Layered together these elements decrease medical costs, shorten care waiting periods, expand existing functionality of care teams, and support patients through a complex care pathway.
We are excited to be a building this new care frontier.
