Rideshare technology can improve access to care for the elderly, low-income patients and those who have chronic and complex care needs, according to Aaron Crowell, head of Uber Health.

Dr. David Nace, chief medical officer of Innovaccer, says ZIP code-level data about risk indicators and social vulnerability of patients and populations exists, so now it should be refined and presented to clinicians to enable better care.

Russ Fendley, HealthEC’s VP of business development, details how his company helps clients develop a care management plan using data analytics.

Society as a whole must address this public health issue by creating tools patients need, says Ochsner CMIO Dr. Todd Burstain, who likens the epidemic to cigarette smoking before cessation programs.
