Do You Have Transportation?
The Project
"Do You Have Transportation?" is an awareness campaign geared towards helping people get rides to where they need to go. The overall goal is for people to have the forethought “do I have transportation?” Often times when scheduling an appointment or making other plans, people don’t think about whether or not they have transportation to get there.
We think we can help.
We are hoping to connect with healthcare facilities in our counties and work with them to bring the “Do You Have Transportation?” project to their facility. This includes connecting patients with HIRTA, providing them with handouts & materials, and explaining why this program is beneficial.
We believe this is a win for us, the facility and the patients/riders.
The Facts
- The average no-show rate in the U.S. healthcare industry is 18.8%
- This costs $150 billion annually in missed appointments
- 21 daily appointment slots x $150 per appointment x 264 business days = $156,340.80/provider/year
- On average, it takes 8.1 minutes to schedule an appointment
- It takes 2 seconds to ask "Do You Have Transportation?"
The Materials
We currently have:
- Magnets
