About OutpatientPro
This episode is sponsored by OutPatientPro. William Neubauer is the founder and CEO of Outpatient Pro, a cloud-based software suite for both surgery centers and office-based labs. He has been in the space for 35 years and created the company to address pain points such as affordability, interoperability, and ease of use.
The Adoption of EMR in ASC Space
70% of surgery centers are still on hard servers due to their cost sensitivity and lack of technological development in the ambulatory space. 35% of surgery centers are still using paper charts or some form of Google Drive or Dropbox. Outpatient Pro’s self-help videos and onboarding experiences make it easy to use and doesn’t have to be an expense like Epic or Cerner.
Addressing Interoperability
William Neubauer, CEO and founder of Outpatient Pro, talks about how the company works to fill in the gaps between different hospital systems by providing a single platform for referrals, onboarding of new patients, and more.
Blockchain Technology and Healthcare
He also discusses how blockchain technology could be used to store medical records securely and make healthcare more of a pay-as-you-go service.
