Thanks for pointing these guys out! One point I should clarify: we recommend and fulfill followup interventions. Appointment scheduling is a portion of that, but it only scratches the surface of what our services can do.
Follow-up appointments are the "bread and butter" of follow-up care (most patients who need any sort of follow-up will need a doctor's visit), but the real power comes in being able to identify additional interventions (transportation, medicine reconciliation, home care) and set them all up at the point of discharge. This has to happen on a per-patient level, because while it is incredibly valuable for the patients who require it, it's fairly expensive, and it would be prohibitive to (e.g.) send a nurse to the home of every single person who leaves the ER the next day to check up on them.
