Better Lives with Care.Wallet: No Time for Quality Healthcare

The average clinic visit in the United States lasts only 7 minutes for a regular patient and 12 minutes for a new patient. During that short time, there is little eye-to-eye contact, because the doctor is usually preoccupied with entering data on a computer. With such a distraction, it’s no wonder diagnostic errors are all too common — over 12 million serious misdiagnoses a year in the U.S. The error rate is over 70% if a doctor doesn’t think of a diagnosis in the first 5 minutes.

Traditionally, healthcare administration has taken a very paper- and process-heavy approach. Patients don’t feel that they’re cared for, expressing the belief that doctors are not really present, not attentive, and are not listening to them. At the same time, doctors feel rushed and unable to fulfill their duty of caring for patients, which is the main reason doctors enter the profession. Currently, providers and nurses are at peak levels of burnout. And exhaustion leads to a doubling in medical errors, which prompts higher burnout, creating a vicious cycle that must be broken.

Solve.Care’s Care.Wallet helps providers and patients communicate with more ease and less stress. Care.Wallet was created to reduce administrative costs, fraud, waste, and abuse; facilitate real-time and more effective care coordination; eliminate duplication of services; and, empower patients with access and control over their information and decisions.

With Care.Wallet, patients will never pay for unnecessary healthcare services. Care.Wallet and Care.Cards are automatically and instantly synced and securely shared with other Care.Wallets, creating an easier way to manage care plans for any medical condition.

In this way, Solve.Care, and the Care.Wallet app make healthcare more affordable, effective, and simpler for everyone involved in the healthcare chain.
