Truth in Headlines Please! I saw this headline—and thought: ‘I didn’t know Uber is also a Health Care Organization!’ And then I read the article—Uber did not build a health care organization...they added ride services for patients. Two points: it’s great to have rides for people who need to get to and from their medical appointments. But...proving rides does not equal being a health care organization!. Doctors, nurses, hospital administrators, risk managers, technicians and other dedicated health care staff who work diligently to help patients in their medical care, recovery and illness, work in a health care organization. And running one of those organizations is hard work—patients and families rely on those people to be dedicated, accurate , evidenced-based, accountable and compassionate. When you are an organization like a hospital that understands and lives the daily stress and responsibly for lives lost-and saved—why then, and only then can you declare your self a health care organization! Until then, you are a ride hailing company that has an important population carve-out. —- LinkedIn Top Voice Healthcare 2015, 2016, 2017 …see more
