Healthcare professionals indicate the no-show rates in the US are as high a 30% for doctor’s appointments just due to lack of transportation. Uber has teamed up with over 100 healthcare organizations to create a service that will allow hospitals, clinics, rehab and physical therapy centers coordinate rides for patients, which will not only help reduce cancelled appointments but make their patients' health a priority.
To ensure the experience is also one that makes patients feel protected, Uber Health has met medical privacy standards outlined in the federal HIPAA laws so that drivers won't know which of their passengers are using Uber Health.
