STARTUP SPOTLIGHT: DOCPACE, A QUEUE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS

“As a result of low Patient Satisfaction scores, organizations can lose millions of dollars through their Medicare Reimbursement. I was shocked. Even more surprising was the fact that wait time was the largest contributor to the online rating/scoring platforms. Eliminate wait time and increase satisfaction… save a lot of lost revenue. It seemed so obvious.”

Coping With Covid-19: N.O. Business Leaders Share Their Insights

“Shelby Sanderford of DOCPACE: COVID-19 has been a rollercoaster of emotions, and it is so alarming to see that New Orleans is one of the “hot spots” for the virus nationally. Being a health-tech company during the pandemic is an interesting place to be. We are actively trying to get our product into the hands of doctors and hospitals for free in order to enable them to directly communicate with their patients. Our technology has been updated to include a pathway for hospitals to send COVID-19 screeners to their patients via text.”

New Orleans startup aims to minimize hospital wait times

“Our goal is to communicate office wait time to patients via text messaging and waiting room monitors to help eliminate wait time for patients,” Sanderford said. “Very similar to what airlines do for flight status, we’re doing for appointment status.”

“There was an inability to reach patient satisfaction scores, and that causes these big health systems to lose millions of dollars every year through their Medicare reimbursement,” she says.

“Access and efficiency, stemming from misalignment of interests between Providers and Consumers are two of the biggest challenges that exist in the current healthcare market,” says Shelby Sanderford, Founder of DOCPACE. Providers aim to see more patients and patients would like to be seen on time. “The two interests work against each other, so what DOCPACE is doing is allowing Providers to see X number of patients per a day by providing a platform to notify patients of delays in appointment start time. It’s a win-win.”

What Doctors Are Saying

 

“Patients really appreciate their doctor taking steps to save them valuable time that often gets lost in waiting for appointments. I highly recommend using DOCPACE for any physician clinic.

It has proven to silently improve both patient care and efficiency (think profitability)! At the same time patients that are promptly served usually tell others about their finding.

Unless your practice is not taking new patients, I highly recommend your using DOCPACE.”
