At T SQRD we believe every patient, no matter where they are, deserves access to the best care possible. Right now, nearly ⅔ of hospitals in the U.S. don’t have access to the specialists needed to provide the highest level of care. Our platform connects these hospitals to remote specialists to improve patient outcomes while reducing the overall cost of care.
There are over 3K+ small, rural, and underserved hospitals and medical facilities in the U.S. that don’t or can’t staff all specialty lines. When facilities don’t have access to specialty care, patients experience a delay in treatment as they often have to transfer to another facility that may be hours away from their home and family. There are over 1.1M unnecessary transfers each year leading to nearly $17B in lost revenue for these hospitals.
At the same time, specialists are looking to expand the number of patients they are able to care for across geographic boundaries while increasing their sources of revenue and making better use of their available time. Engaging with remote facilities introduces administrative burdens and is often technically infeasible that make this especially challenging for specialists.
The T SQRD platform connects hospitals and patients with top specialists by solving all logistical, technical, and legal hurdles that arise with inpatient specialty virtual care. Through these connections we are fixing medical access issues hurting patients and health care providers around the country, while bringing costs down and quality metrics up. Inpatient consults represent a $15B opportunity at the edge of massive telehealth adoption that has been accelerating over the past year.
