Hatch, a prominent healthcare technology firm, has announced a strategic collaboration with DMOS Orthopaedic Centers, a diverse orthopedic specialty group located in Central Iowa. Through Hatch's advanced patient coordination and provider matching technology, DMOS aims to enhance its patient outreach and harness relationships with employers. This partnership addresses the pressing need for accessible, top-tier care, given that musculoskeletal injuries lead to an annual loss of around $50 billion in productivity within the United States.

Hatch's digital platform is designed to engage patients earlier in their healthcare journey, offering virtual and asynchronous triage consultations, along with flexible online scheduling. By integrating Hatch's capacity optimization and care coordination platform with DMOS' expansive network of providers and leading treatment recommendations, patients gain seamless access to specialized care that's both timely and convenient. As Hatch forges employee relationships, DMOS providers will become integrated within their local communities, securing exclusive patient populations.

Gerry Andrady, CEO of Hatch, expressed, "Ensuring patients receive the right care at the right time and in the right context is a shared goal, yet the challenge lies in executing that effectively. Hatch is thrilled to collaborate with DMOS to meet this need in Iowa, fostering stronger connections between patients and healthcare providers. Identifying suitable specialty providers has been a challenge for patients, and we're excited to join forces with DMOS to bring this solution to consumers in Iowa."

Through this partnership, DMOS will unlock access to new employer opportunities within Iowa. Consequently, employees will be able to access DMOS's orthopedic urgent injury clinics, reducing unnecessary emergency room visits, cutting costs, and elevating the quality of care. By establishing these employer relationships, DMOS has the potential to expand its market presence while ensuring that patients receive optimal care.

Dr. Nick Honkamp, Board President of DMOS, remarked, "We take pride in removing a fundamental barrier to care for Central Iowa patients – the challenge of locating appropriate healthcare. Thanks to the Hatch partnership and our affiliations with employers, patients will now have the tools to identify the right provider who can deliver the superior clinical outcomes they deserve. After serving our communities for over six decades, we are excited to introduce this innovative new model."
