💬 “Don’t wait six hours for a cough.” - Ben Wolfe, Director of Digital Transformation, Rush University System for Health
At the Becker’s Health IT + Digital Health + RCM Conference in Chicago, Ben shared how Rush is rethinking care navigation by meeting patients where they are, on their phones.
When low-acuity patients leave the ED, Rush now sends a follow-up text directing them to a provider who can see them in 20 minutes next time.
It’s a simple shift with huge impact: faster access, better routing, reduced ED strain, and a consumer experience that feels intuitive.
This is exactly the kind of digital-first redesign leaders across the country are exploring right now.
