Consumerism in Healthcare is a phrase we hear more and more these days as patients assume greater purchasing power and decision-making for their healthcare needs. High deductible health plans are a contributor to this growing shift but there are other factors as well.  I had a conversation with Sarah Hughes, Director of Product Management for CareCloud, on the impact of the rise of consumerism in healthcare from the small practice position. On the episode, we address, among other things:

1. What does “consumerism in healthcare” really mean for the independent physician practice?
2. What are physician practices doing to become more consumer friendly?
3. What are some of the barriers to them delivering an optimal patient experience?

You can hear our conversation below.

About CareCloud
CareCloud believes that healthcare deserves tools that are as modern, well-designed, and easy-to-use as the ones encountered elsewhere in our daily lives. The status quo of in-house servers, annual software upgrades, clunky screens and forced purchases of unwanted solutions is a relic. It impedes physicians and patients alike.
