Quintuple
Aim
Many healthcare practitioners are getting squeezed…we strive to fund business models that help private practicing physicians and their clinics generate new revenue streams.
This is job #1, and of course this is the cornerstone of value based health, which is the bedrock of Wavemaker 360.
With all the disruption happening in the healthcare industry, we also need to find new products, technologies, and services that directly benefit nurses, doctors, and other allied healthcare professionals.
Beyond health outcomes, improving the patient experience and making healthcare services consumption more convenient and satisfying is compelling to Wavemaker 360.
Healthcare is approaching 20% of GDP…anything that can help bring this down, without sacrificing outcomes, is a good thing.
