The human arsenal is pretty-much known for being loaded in every imaginable sense, and yet there is nothing more valuable in it than our tendency of growing on a consistent basis. This tendency has allowed us to hit upon some huge milestones, with technology proving to be a major member of the stated squad. The reason why technology gets to enjoy such an esteemed stature among people is largely down to its core set of offerings that were unique enough to usher us towards a reality we couldn’t have imagined otherwise. Nevertheless, if we take a closer look, it will become clear how the whole runner was also inspired by the way we applied those offerings across a real-world setting. The latter component was, in fact, what gave the creation a spectrum-wide presence, including a timely appearance on our healthcare block. Technology’s linkup with healthcare was so perfectly-timed because it came right when the sector was beginning to struggle against its own obsolete structure. Fortunately, though, this reality will go through a complete overhaul under the new regime, but even after achieving something so monumental, the emerging medtech concept will somehow continue bringing all the right goods to the table. The same has only gotten more apparent on the back of our recent progression, and GoodRx’s latest move does a lot to keep that trend alive.
GoodRx, a leading consumer-focused digital healthcare platform, has officially launched a new platform called Provider Mode, which is designed to help providers search for drug cost information while they are conducting appointments with their patients. Beyond educating the provider about a prescription’s price across all local and virtual pharmacies, the platform is also well-equipped to deliver relevant details regarding dosage and other related aspects. Wait, there is still more. In order to produce more value, the Provider Mode even lets you print out special medication coupons for patients so to enhance affordability, and consequentially, realize a much more universal brand of healthcare.
“There is an incredible need among healthcare professionals for timesaving tools that help minimize the administrative burden that we face,” said Preeti Parikh, Executive Medical Director at GoodRx. “Doctors want to spend more hours of our day seeing and helping patients, not doing paperwork, and the Provider Mode experience is designed to help us do just that. It puts cost, savings, and healthcare information at our fingertips so we can better help our patients at the point of care and make sure they are getting the treatment they need.”
GoodRx’s decision to launch a platform specifically for healthcare providers is, of course, influenced by the success of its broader product, which has entertained, since June 2021, requests from more than 850,000 prescribers who wanted to look up medication prices prescription discounts, and trusted health information on behalf of their patients.
In regards to additional offerings, the Provider Mode, notably enough, lets you compare other drugs in the same class, examine whether patients can save money by purchasing a higher prescription quantity, and assess medication delivery options. However, the platform is not just looking to help you on a case-by-case basis. Instead, it wants to make a more sustainable impact, and that is why it also brings you educational content and a detailed lowdown on different industry trends.
