Today US healthcare spending is rising to grow
above the general rate of inflation and patients
burdened by rising deductibles demand the
information needed to shop for healthcare
services. These factors put pressure on
providers, insurers, and drug makers to offer
price and quality data. Moreover, alternative
payment models that require providers to take on
financial risk for populations of patients are
forcing doctors to ask questions about the cost
of ordering this test or that, referring a
patient to a specific skilled nursing facility,
or ordering home care. Mobile Technology Every
citizen carries mobile phones in the US
Therefore, Apple Pay, Samsung Pay, PayPal, and
other financial mobile apps have been successful
in reducing the friction of financial
transactions. Contactless payments via mobile pay
can ensure harmonious financial relationships
reflective of the patient-centered clinical care
delivered by providers. Thats increasingly
important, given the rise in reimbursement models
that tie hospital and health system reimbursement
to overall patient satisfaction.
