Grassi Healthcare Consulting Tip: ZocDoc

GRASSI HEALTHCARE CONSULTING TIP OF THE MONTH: WHAT IS ZocDoc?

We are constantly researching industry innovations and ideas. A few months ago we heard about ZocDoc, an online system built to connect patients and physicians. Their mission is to make healthcare simple. ZocDoc enables users to search their database of doctors and dentists to find a provider in their area. Their system provides a high level of convenience-patients are just a click away from booking an appointment, reading patient reviews, or retrieving physician information.

Users can filter physicians by insurance plans and by location. In the age of reduced office hours and busy physicians' offices, patients can book appointments 24 hours a day/7 days a week. This convenient tool allows patients to quickly schedule appointments, allowing your office staff to conduct everyday business.

ZocDoc currently offers primary care physician, pediatrician, dermatologist, ophthalmologist, ENT, orthopedist, psychiatrist, allergist, OB/GYN, and dentist appointments in New York City. They will be offering additional specialties and locations in the future.

With the evolution of healthcare and technology, ZocDoc seems to fit the bill as an interesting alternative for patients and physicians alike.
