Partnership to connect hospitals and patients with seamless door-to-door transportation service.
NEW YORK, Aug 1, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — No more missed healthcare appointments due to lack of adequate transportation. In addition to PointClickCare, Safr Care’s advanced technology connects hospitals and Medicare/Medicaid patients with seamless door-to-door transportation service, solving a major problem for the 5.8 million Americans who miss or postpone medical appointments every year due to insufficient transportation. The Safr Care platform relieves stress and complications for both healthcare providers and patients seeking accessible and affordable non-emergency medical transportation.
Safr Care has launched the integration with PointClickCare on its platform, making business more efficient and profitable for both facilities using PointClickCare and the transportation providers using the Safr Care app. This streamlines the process for both healthcare facilities and carriers to automatically have the patient information they need to plan a ride at the click of a button. Using our platforms, the autoroute function determines the fastest and most cost-effective route. Fully integrated with PointClickCare improves the experience for coordinators, improves ease of use for drivers, improves the quality of care for patients and reduces operational costs. “We believe in constant innovation and the introduction of our integration into the PointClickCare system will help patients, transportation and healthcare providers and other stakeholders,” Syed Gilani, CEO of Safr Technologies, Inc., said. “It is important to make the existing infrastructure more efficient through better software and Safr offers a unique advantage to the transport providers,” he added.
“The PointClickCare Marketplace offers the broadest range of integrated solutions available on the market,” says Chris Beekman, Marketplace Director, PointClickCare. “Our partnership with Safr Care is further evidence of our continuously expanding partner network and ecosystem, and the wealth of opportunities it offers our customers to expand their technology capabilities.”
Medicaid provides non-emergency medical transportation to 3.2 million beneficiaries. Meanwhile, research shows that about a third of Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries face barriers to wellness in the form of transportation insecurity. In fact, 5.8 million Americans miss medical appointments each year or are delayed due to transportation barriers.
Despite this demand, the field of non-emergency medical transportation lacks a seamless, unified technological backbone. With outdated or non-existent software, transportation providers face scheduling and communication issues while increasing their operating costs. Due to the inefficient and limited operational capabilities of the traditional carrier, patient needs are not being met by the current transportation landscape. This allows for no-shows and delayed appointments for critical elderly patients.
