As health systems consider how to keep and acquire new patients, many recognize the value of providing their own branded online care for common medical conditions. As a white-labeled, turnkey solution, Zipnosis ensures digital-to-in person care continuity and reduces the complexity, time and expense for health systems considering building their own virtual care capability. The domain expertise of Zipnosis allowed John Muir Health to launch the service quickly and efficiently.
"We are excited to be partnering with Zipnosis in support of our primary care strategy of 'call, click, or come-in' to improve patient access 24/7," said George Sauter, Chief Strategy Officer for John Muir Health. "We know there are patients who seek to have many of their needs met online. Zipnosis allows us to meet the needs of those patients. It also integrates well with our existing online patient portal and uploads medical encounters into the patient's medical records, which provides a seamless experience for our patients and full visibility across the care continuum for our physicians."
Jon Pearce, CEO and co-founder of Zipnosis discussed the company's excitement in partnering with John Muir Health, "John Muir's vision for using Zipnosis to reach the new digital health consumer is exciting to see unfold in California. We are honored to have the opportunity to partner with them on this journey, using our years of experience to help them get to market faster and with confidence."
Using Zipnosis, health systems can launch their own profoundly simple online diagnosis and treatment service within 90 days. The service conveniently connects patients online to the health system's own clinicians to receive prompt, high-quality virtual care for common medical conditions, such as sinus infections, pink eye, colds and flu—all for a flat fee payable online, typically without adding clinical staff. Designed on the premise of quality care above all else, adherence to evidence-based guidelines via the Zipnosis platform is 98.4 percent for sinusitis and nearly 100 percent for UTI, while the average for urgent care centers is 70 percent.
