The story
Spruce Health worked for several years on its HIPAA-compliant communication platform to dramatically improve efficiency but had experienced a growth plateau scaling health practices due to timely and manual VoIP configuration challenges. In addition, the search experience for doctors was too limited, which lead to inefficient workflows and got in the way of delivery the level of care Spruce strived for. We became an integral part of the engineering organization, set up a new VoIP system, revamped search and developed a HIPAA-compliant infrastructure for Spruce’s application.
Telehealth up 53%, growing faster than any other care
Telehealth fastest growing care sector in terms of claims, and advancing rapidly. Though Telehealth is still a tiny share of care provided. It accounts for only 0.11% of the Fair Health.
Healthcare delivery is too expensive for patients and chaotic for physicians
Spruce Health is among the top 10 telemedicine providers in the US.

For doctors, Spruce makes it easy and efficient to adapt to changing patient expectations.
