Need help to transport patients to and from the medical care they need? Uber now provides a new service for healthcare providers that allows them to easily book rides for their patients from an online dashboard. Uber Health lets coordinators schedule rides on behalf of patients, caregivers and staff to take place immediately, within a few hours, or up to 30 days in advance. Uber’s new B2B service “allows for transportation to be scheduled for follow-up appointments while still at the healthcare facility. Multiple rides can be scheduled and managed at the same time, all from a single dashboard,” according to Uber Health’s General Manager Chris Weber.With this new hail-riding platform, Weber explains, riders dont need the Uber app, or even a smartphone, to get a ride as transportation scheduling is done through text message. “Were even going to be introducing the option for riders to receive a call with trip details to their mobile phone or landline instead. For many, their first ever Uber ride will be through Uber Health, so were committed to providing the necessary education tools that ensure every patient feels comfortable and at ease during their journey,” says Weber.
