@nikillinit Glad you found our data useful! Fun fact: our 2 most popular visit reasons of 2023 (along with others in the top 10) were for preventive care. We definitely help with acute care needs + fast access, but overall Zocdoc bookings are comprised of a lot of non-urgent, routine care.

@chrissyfarr Love this. Count Zocdoc in for: what to do what you've got the wrong business model, navigating federal and state regs, supply/demand matching (within zip codes, across thousands of plans), the need to find win/wins for all participants, and much more

Zocdoc Practice Solutions is available to any practice or provider, regardless of whether they are on Zocdoc https://t.co/primsSiB51

Zocdoc has long been known as the site where patients can scope out doctor reviews and book appointments. But now it's getting into the business of actually running physicians' front offices, the company announced Tuesday.

@CloeyCallahan Been deep in this and eager to see what you turn up. You can find data that confirms every preference, and it is so dependent on a co's context (roles, industry, etc.) But this is among the most clear-eyed I've seen lately: https://t.co/CXGDZkXMIr

A good read on SV's lack of traction in healthcare. As @oliver_kharraz says: when you're holding a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

It's frankly been painful watching the vaccine scheduling missteps. Here's what we learned at @Zocdoc after 13 years of trial and error. Unfortunately, we don't have that kind of time for America to learn on the job when it comes to vaccinations.

"We think that this puts us in a pole position to be the place where patients can find both types of care," Zocdoc CEO Oliver Kharraz told STAT. https://t.co/yquS9VFaQI

An actual sentence I said to my kiddo this morning when she was speaking unkindly to Alexa: "We don't yell at people ... or robots."

#Zocdoc, which is known for making easy bookings with doctors, dentists and therapists, “will aggregate real-time appointment availability” from some of the city’s mass vaccination sites. https://t.co/tShOOxbcMC

[Jess Aptman @JessAptman]

The vaccines were developed in record speed thanks to public-private partnerships. So too should their rollout. @Zocdoc is proud to partner with the City of Chicago to streamline vaccinations for its residents.

Chicago is turning to a private app to help set up COVID-19 vaccine appointments as the city faces scheduling hurdles https://t.co/YjWljl9yQ1

[Squawk Box @SquawkCNBC]

"Centralized vaccination centers is potentially part of the problem. I think we need to distribute the distribution--we need to make sure we have more access centers," says ZocDoc CEO Oliver Kharraz on vaccine rollout.
