Rush University System for Health

In Modern Healthcare, Rush CEO Dr. Omar Lateef, Rush Health CMO Garth Walker, MD, and Jonathan Blum write that academic medical centers, safety net hospitals and insurers should partner to address U.S. policy and funding changes and protect access to care. modernhealthcare.com/opinion/mh-hea…

💬 “Don’t wait six hours for a cough.” - Ben Wolfe, Director of Digital Transformation, Rush University System for Health At the Becker’s Health IT + Digital Health + RCM Conference in Chicago, Ben shared how Rush is rethinking care navigation by meeting patients where they are, on their phones. When low-acuity patients leave the ED, Rush now sends a follow-up text directing them to a provider who can see them in 20 minutes next time. It’s a simple shift with huge impact: faster access, better routing, reduced ED strain, and a consumer experience that feels intuitive. This is exactly the kind of digital-first redesign leaders across the country are exploring right now. 📅 Want more conversations shaping consumer experience, access, and digital strategy?

@alexisgladstone Thanks for bringing this to our attention, Alexis. We've shared your message with the team.

Hey @RushMedical. I just received an email about your Breast Reconstruction Awareness Day event on 10/15. I don't see anything on the agenda talking about the option not to reconstruct, which is disappointing. Who do I share this feedback with?

@TheCivicGood Hi Erin: We're sorry to hear you're having trouble reaching someone to discuss your bill. We encourage you to contact our Patient Relations team at (312) 942-6979 or patient_relations@rush.edu.

@RushMedical why are you trying to bill me for services that I didn’t receive? Then when I call it out you say it was for last year. Then you send me an itemized statement that shows you billed and were compensated twice by my old insurance. I can’t get a real person on the phone

@RushMedical,16 hours since I tested positive for COVID, no prescription sent to pharmacy. Email suggested that I go to urgent care - and expose everyone to COVID. Is that malpractice?

@RushUniversity answering service is dangerous. After 1.5 hours no response. Rush needs to figuout how to get COVID medicine to me Now even though CVS is closed. @OmarLateefCEO.
