Care managers can easily access content, while marking their favorites and organizing it into folders shared across the team and so they can easily see what other managers have shared with patients too. Care coordinators can find and use relevant health information in real-time, in preparation for a call, during an encounter, or to send as follow-up.

Seamless Care Team Workflows and Accessibility

Uses the patient’s medical record and diagnosis to provide a list of health education specific to the patient’s needs. Efficiently recommends content based on the patient's profile, visit history, and current clinical encounter. Content can be shared directly through patient portal before, during, or after a visit. Supports mix of traditional and custom orders and results interfaces; integrations include but are not limited to HL7.

Digital therapeutics represent an exciting opportunity for health systems to improve patient engagement, outcomes, and access to care. These software-based solutions use technology like mobile apps, sensors, and data analytics to help prevent, manage, and treat a growing range of medical conditions. However, with an influx of companies offering digital therapeutics, health systems face challenges in identifying the right solutions that are evidence-based, integrate smoothly, and align with organizational goals.

Selecting Digital Therapeutics: A Step-by-Step Framework for Health Systems

From providing quick, relevant, and legitimate responses to health questions to streamlining essential tasks, AI chatbots are revolutionizing how patients interact with healthcare providers and provide unique new opportunities for health systems to enhance operations with digital tools.

Q&A with Scott Pradels of Carium: Leveraging technology to forge human connections

In recent years, digital has evolved into its own distinct asset class for healthcare organizations of any size, and is a necessary strategic pillar in any long-term strategy. For an especially complex service line like oncology, organizations that prioritize digital are uniquely positioned to meet increased needs for exploration and education, support patients and their caregivers through lengthy and stressful care journeys, and empower care teams to spend more time engaged in direct patient care. Digital solutions can relieve staffing shortages, offer new services, create workflow efficiencies, expand access and help realize downstream revenue.

A buyer’s guide to oncology

It’s a funny question to ask and seems somewhat antithetical, but are AI tools making us think too much? From the standpoint of an AI tool’s output you could argue quite the opposite. But from a UX perspective, the tools themselves may be requiring more effort to use than people are typically used to.


Are AI Tools Making Us Think Too Much?

Synchronous Virtual Visit Tools

Asynchronous Virtual Visit Tools

Zipnosis

Zipnosis is a telemedicine platform that empowers providers and prioritizes patients. Our white-label virtual care solution increases access for patients and reduces 99% of provider work time. By leveraging asynchronous medical protocols, Zipnosis enables providers to deliver care in under two minutes, creating a better experience for both patients and providers. Zipnosis also enables providers to seamlessly transition into synchronous modes of care, including chat, video, and phone, while triaging and routing patients to in-person care when necessary.

Why Async?:
In-person care and synchronous video-based telemedicine are valuable, but these modalities have efficiency limitations and health equity challenges. A concerted strategy shift that leverages asynchronous telemedicine is key. We’ve done the research and proven that asynchronous telemedicine can solve the biggest challenges facing healthcare:
<ul>
<li>Staffing shortages</li>
<li>Provider burnout</li>
<li>Delayed and avoided care</li>
<li>Consumerism</li>
<li>Health equity</li>
<li>Access to care</li>
<li>Patient leakage</li>
</ul>
If video visits and in-person care were the solutions, we wouldn’t still be dealing with these issues. Health systems that are serious about solving these problems are venturing outside traditional modes of care to implement a solution that prioritizes the only two people who matter in healthcare: patients and providers.

90% Adherence to Clinical Guidelines: The Zipnosis platform leverages patient responses and clinical guidelines to provide efficient, accurate clinical decision support. We have a Clinical Quality Advisory Council made up of 15 healthcare leaders to establish clinical quality best practices for virtual care.

89-Second Provider Work Time: On average, our adaptive patient interviews gather the information a provider needs to make a diagnosis and treatment recommendation in just 89 seconds, compared with 18 minutes for an in-person visit. This gives providers more time to focus their time on patients with more complex needs, while still offering high-quality care for common conditions.

Patients Love the Experience: Patients receive the dual benefits of convenience and efficiency. They can access the system via any web-enabled device and complete their online adaptive interview in a fraction of the time taken by an in-person visit. On average, patients using asynchronous care wait 6:29 minutes for a diagnosis and spend $25 per visit.

Drive Patient Acquisition and Revenue: 40% of Zipnosis virtual visits are net new patients. Those patients are 276% more likely to convert to a health system patient, and the average first-year revenue for each new patient is $2,900. With the lifetime value of a patient expected to exceed a million dollars, a solid digital strategy is a significant competitive advantage – meanwhile, a lack of one poses a threat to organizations.

In-Depth Reporting and Analytics: Our clients capture significant structured data through the online adaptive interview. Using our HIPAA-compliant Statnosis™ reporting and analytics tool, health systems can follow trends related to conditions treated, visit timing, guideline adherence, and triaged patients.
