ShiftMed’s more than 100,000 professionals will be able to access Uber Health rides directly within the ShiftMed app, and “high-performing” clinicians will earn vouchers for meal and grocery delivery with Uber Eats, according to the Sept. 29 ShiftMed news release.

“Transportation creates a barrier for more than 30 percent of frontline healthcare providers,” stated Jacob Laufer, COO of ShiftMed. “Our care-integrated solution with Uber Health reduces the need for car ownership in urban settings and increases access to shifts in rural settings where public transportation options are limited.”

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
