Healthcare costs continue to rise for consumers, payors, and employers, which does not necessarily translate to improvements in access to care or in the quality of care received. In fact, quite the opposite – access is shrinking and quality of care is actually decreasing in the United States.

Cost is not the only reason people put off receiving care. Finding a qualified provider and understanding how to access care points are also obstacles. The process is confusing and arduous. Many people delay care or decide not to seek any care, leading to declining health that impacts nearly every aspect of life, including work.

Employers are also impacted as sick employees call off work, resulting in a loss of productivity and higher costs associated with hiring and training new employees to fill positions. The rising cost of healthcare and the implications of delaying care impact everyone.

Providers are also affected. When care is finally accessed, providers are left to make clinical decisions based on fragmented and incomplete health data. Not only should all health information be easily accessible in one place, but patients should know how to access and own their complete healthcare record.

When patients partner with their provider to advocate for their health, everyone wins. Easy access to data, early diagnoses, and preventive care can lower costs and improve health and outcomes.

All of this is possible. Advancements in technology have allowed Healthbook+ to leverage data and AI to guide patients to their next best health action™ so they can improve their overall health and well-being.
