Join us for an insightful discussion on the current state of primary care in hospitals and the emergence of direct primary care (DPC) as a transformative solution. Our guest, Christopher Habig, co-founder and CEO of Freedom Healthworks, shares his expertise on why hospital-employed practices are bleeding money, the lack of transparency in pricing and referrals, and the challenges faced by rural hospitals. Discover how DPC offers a lifeline for hospitals, promotes financial sustainability, restores patient trust, and ensures access to quality health care in underserved communities.

Christopher Habig is co-founder and CEO, Freedom Healthworks, a company dedicated to scaling the direct primary care (DPC) practice model, putting doctors back in control of patient care.

He discusses the KevinMD article, “Health care’s hidden problem: hospital primary care losses.”

Our presenting sponsor is Nuance, a Microsoft company.

Together, Microsoft and Nuance are leveraging their rich digital technology and advanced AI capabilities to tackle some of health care’s biggest challenges. AI-driven technology promises to revolutionize patient and provider experiences with clinical documentation that writes itself.

The Nuance Dragon Ambient eXperience, or DAX for short, is a voice-enabled solution that automatically captures patient encounters securely and accurately at the point of care. DAX Copilot combines proven conversational and ambient AI with the most advanced generative AI in a mobile application that integrates directly with your existing workflows.

Physicians who use DAX have reported a 50 percent decrease in documentation time and a 70 percent reduction in feelings of burnout, and 85 percent of patients say their physician is more personable and conversational.

Discover AI-powered clinical documentation that writes itself. Visit https://nuance.com/daxinaction to see a 12-minute DAX Copilot demo.
