IKS Health

In 2006, a couple of entrepreneurs noticed that the healthcare industry seemed to be getting the whole “technology” thing wrong. Instead of gaining efficiencies for the practice and the care team, healthcare technology created more busy work for everyone. As a result, providers found themselves increasingly interfacing with a computer rather than with their patients.

These IKS entrepreneurs also recognized that the technology burden was impacting more than the exam room. The business office was struggling to keep up while facing pressure to cut costs like never before because of challenges with declining reimbursements, payor complexity, and the need to expand rapidly to keep up with practice growth.
