The impact of addiction on public health, communities, and individual lives is far too familiar to all of us. With prescription drug addiction identified as among the fastest growing health risks in the US, and as addiction grabs hold of lives at younger and younger ages, treatment providers too often lack the bandwidth to meet patient needs. Although the market is growing – 15,000 independent practitioners will open new clinics this year – the complexity required to launch, document, and market addiction treatment services is a major pain point, and more importantly a business reality that dilutes the delivery of these providers’ all-important services. That’s why I invested in Klinic. Klinic automates and digitizes “back office” tech functions addiction treatment providers currently spend way too much time on, empowering them to focus on the essential services only they can provide. By delivering a “Shopify-like” experience to these providers, Klinic creates efficiencies and value that allow practitioners to build their businesses in ways that make a difference in their business results and – most importantly – the people they work with. With Klinic, these professionals can address a looming health crisis, help get lives back on track, and optimize their time and talent for work that makes a difference in the world – while building confidence and compliance across critical business functions.
