Making Health Care More Convenient with Amanda Epp, CEO of ScriptDrop

<p>Improving health care by making it more convenient</p> <p>The journey a patient makes in the health care system can be a long one - from getting an appointment, to waiting to see the physician, to finally getting a prescription for treatment.&nbsp; Any roadblock on that journey, often something simple such as picking up a prescription, can have devastating consequences.</p> <p>Value-based care is all about focusing on the patient - providing them the best quality care for the least amount of cost. It is also about treating the patient more as a consumer and giving them the delightful experience that they get from their other service and retail providers.&nbsp; Oftentimes, what the patient consumer is looking for is convenience.</p> <p>Convenient is certainly not a word one typically associates with health care.&nbsp; But that’s changing.&nbsp; Telehealth has finally gained acceptance, a silver lining from the pandemic, wearables are connecting to doctors’ offices, and increasingly medical networks have a usable patient app.&nbsp; It may not be perfect yet, but it’s heading in the right direction.</p> <p>In today’s podcast, 7investing Lead Advisor Dana Abramovitz discusses how companies are making health care more convenient to patients with Amanda Epp, Co-founder and CEO of <a href="https://scriptdrop.co/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">ScriptDrop</a>.&nbsp; ScriptDrop focuses on the last leg of the patient journey, getting their prescription.</p> <p><em>Publicly-traded companies mentioned in this podcast include: Rite Aid (NYSE: RAD), Albertson’s (NYSE: ACI), CVS (NSYE: CVS), Walgreens (NASDAQ: WBA), and Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN). 7investing’s advisors may have positions in the companies mentioned.</em></p> <p><br></p> <p>Welcome to 7investing.
