Ep. 60 - Dr. Daniel Solomon and Mark Elfers Tackle the Physician Shortage with Digital Innovation

Join hosts Meredith Hirsh and Mike Chavez for a high-impact episode of Working Healthcare as they tackle one of the most urgent challenges in U.S. healthcare: the physician shortage. In this future-focused conversation, Dr. Daniel Solomon—a Harvard rheumatologist and health systems researcher—and Mark Elfers, a former Marine and now CEO of GreenCape Health, share how digital innovation is reshaping chronic care. Together, they unpack how MPro Health, a mobile platform now integrated with Epic and Athena EHRs, is cutting wait times, boosting medication adherence and improving patient-reported outcomes in rheumatology practices. Listeners will discover the power of Remote Therapeutic Monitoring (RTM)—a Medicare-reimbursable care model that helps physicians generate new revenue streams while enhancing chronic disease management. Mark breaks down how GreenCape Health bridges the gap between clinical care and scalable technology, making real-world implementation both practical and profitable. With compliance rates exceeding 60% and proven clinical impact, MPro Health offers a promising strategy to fight provider burnout and expand access to care.
