QHSLab Continues to Lead the Way in Digital Healthcare with Impressive Year-to-Date Achievements in Patient-Centric Innovations and Advancements in Behavioral Healthcare

WEST PALM BEACH, FL, Oct. 18, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- QHSLab, Inc. (the “Company”) (OTCQB: USAQ), a company focused on providing clinicians with tools to leverage proactive, value-based healthcare solutions through emerging digital health and point-of-care technologies, is proud to announce a series of accomplishments year-to-date (YTD) demonstrating the company's commitment to transforming patient care through technology and innovation.

Assessment Adoption, Reimbursement, and Success

In the first nine months of this year, QHSLab conducted over 30,000 patient digital medicine assessments through participating healthcare providers. These assessments include Q-Scale mental health evaluations, allergy and asthma assessments, PHQ-GAD psychological screening assessments, preventive health habits assessments, chronic pain monitoring, medical nutrition assessments, and environmental and food allergy skin tests. Of those assessed for allergies and asthma, approximately 800 patients initiated allergen immunotherapy for their diagnosed allergic disease during the period. The 2024 assessment run rate at QHSLab is expected to exceed 65,000, and it is anticipated to increase further as new physician clients come on board in Q4 2023.

QHSLab digital medicine assessments translate into a substantial increase in revenue for healthcare practices that utilize the Company’s innovative solutions. By providing physicians with a means to remotely connect with their patients, particularly in the critical area of mental health, QHSLab enables healthcare providers to offer previously unavailable services. Physician clients have shared that their reimbursements have increased by 20-30% as a result of adding QHSLab digital health services to their practices. The data collected and statistically evaluated also indicates a clear direction toward predicting excess health care utilization, such as hospital bed days and emergency room encounters from patients that experience negative quality of life scores from their Q-Scale assessments, demonstrating the ability of the Company’s assessments to identify means of reducing future health care costs. Preliminary outcomes data shows that healthcare providers can enhance a patient’s quality of life through digital medicine programs, a bright light for the future of healthcare.
