TP405 - Do Healthcare Consumers Actually “Shop”?


Listen Later

In this episode, hosts Reed Smith and Chris Boyer explore the concept of consumer-driven healthcare and why it often falls short of true "shopping" experiences, discussing how factors like insurance coverage, geographic limitations, and health drivers complicate decision-making for patients. From the pitfalls of online appointment scheduling to the limitations of "reserve your spot" features in emergency departments, they break down how healthcare systems must improve UX/UI design to better serve patients.
