The nation is facing a critical provider shortage—83% of counties are experiencing a primary care provider shortage, according to the Health Resources & Services Administration. Over the past decade, urgent care providers have expanded to meet this demand, but the on-demand model remains a challenge due to the delicate balance between demand and clinical supply, leading to long wait times during peak seasons. At the same time, the rising demand for digital healthcare tools, driven by patient expectations and a shift toward consumerism, has led to an increase in direct-to-consumer (D2C) competitors. This has contributed to care fragmentation, disrupted referral flows, and decreased overall population health.
This webinar explores today’s healthcare challenges and how a digital-first approach can expand access, create capacity, and reduce provider burnout.
