Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

594 - Building Frictionless Healthcare: Updoc’s Journey to Improving Healthcare Access
Q: What keeps patients coming back despite competition from bulk-billing?
Patients value the convenience of getting a doctor within an hour, a clear brand promise, and a range of pricing options; the service remains non-replacement for in-person care but offers a valuable accessibility layer that people are willing to pay for.
594 - Building Frictionless Healthcare: Updoc’s Journey to Improving Healthcare Access
Q: What has the journey been like in building Updoc's governance and safety framework?
Updoc built an internal and external clinical governance team to handle escalations, prescription monitoring, and credentialing, and engaged with Patients Australia to develop digital health guardrails that guide how telehealth operates in Australia.
594 - Building Frictionless Healthcare: Updoc’s Journey to Improving Healthcare Access
Q: Tell me a little bit about who Updoc is and what it's solving.
Updoc is online healthcare that lets patients request prescriptions, referrals, or medical letters via web or app, then connect with doctors through a subscription or pay-per-visit model and a virtual queue; the aim is to create a frictionless, accessible entry point to care.
593 - Rethinking Private Hospital Care: Technology Integration and Value-Based Models
Q: How did Adeney approach building a private hospital from scratch with a zero out-of-pocket model and patient-centered care at the core?
Louise explains that Adeney was purpose-built by 42 doctor shareholders with Medibank as a minority shareholder, aiming to remove out-of-pocket costs for most insured procedures and to deliver individualized care through a hospital culture that centers patient needs, staff empowerment, and continuous value-based delivery.
587 - Collaboration, Equity, and Change: Driving Innovation at HiNZ 2025
Q: Is there anything that you would hope someone takes away from the sessions that you're having here?
Tracey emphasizes the importance of awareness in aged residential care and questions why those in the audience may not be informed about key developments.
