In this episode of The Pulse Podcast, Sandy interviews Dan Trigub, Head of Uber Health, the technology giant Uber’s bid on the multi-billion dollar non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) market. Uber Health’s goal is to increase access to transportation to reduce patient no-shows, recapturing lost revenue and helping underserved populations manage their care plans. Uber has over 1,000 partnerships across the healthcare landscape, including hospitals such as BayCare Health System, Boston Medical Center, MedStar Health and the Cleveland Clinic — along with 27,000+ systems that use Cerner’s EHR through Uber Health’s October 2019 integration with the IT platform. Before Uber, Dan spent time at Lyft as Regional VP of Strategic Partnerships focused on healthcare, eBay in Business Development, and founded several companies including OpenPlacement, a care coordination platform allowing hospital professionals to connect with post-acute care providers for their patients at the moment of discharge.
