Motient co-founder Dr. Watson finds similarities and applied lessons from his Kansas upbringing for the challenges of modern healthcare.

Motient co-founder Dr. Watson reflects on an experience that made him realize the true essence of human connection in healthcare.

Motient’s Dr. Watson looks at how the lack of local and regional control in healthcare has constrained the actual activity of caring for people.

The current healthcare system requires wholesale elimination of current segments of the non-direct patient care expense line.

Mission Control data analytics are now embedded in the platform.

COVID-19 has demonstrated the need to build back the healthcare system stronger, more efficient, and better than before.

The current healthcare system must change to focus on the patient in order for quality, cost-efficient changes to occur.

Our healthcare system can change how COVID-19 is handled. We need to change how reimbursement, staffing, and technology are managed.

The Acuity Index is a patient assessment score specific to patient transport. It explicitly scores a patient’s condition as appropriate for transport between the sender, EMS services, and the receiver.

Living on the frontier can mean scarcity in resources, especially in healthcare. We need to create sustainable standardization of processes and administrative support in order for positive patient outcomes to increase and benefit rural communities and healthcare facilities.

The Acuity Index is the standardized methodology that determines vital, transfer-specific elements of a person’s condition as necessary to how they will be moved between facilities, using which modalities and resources.

Mission Control is excited to announce a new interface for mission creation that will further simplify the way you create transfers in Mission Control.

In cases of stroke, time is brain. Mission Control helps ensure healthcare providers, EMS, and patients get access to the resources they need, when they need — when every second matters.
