Benefits
Improve Access and the Patient Experience
Embrace consumerization of healthcare with an increased focus on customer service by ensuring patients are engaged throughout the entire care process resulting in a better patient experience and increased loyalty to their providers.
Reduce Patient
No Shows
Targeted, automated, and time-sensitive patient messaging via text or email including appointment reminders and patient confirmations decreases missed appointments and helps reduce wait times for future scheduling.
Improve Operational Efficiencies
Automated appointment reminders and follow-up communications eliminate phone calls and manual processes that burden staff members and result in increased operational efficiency.
Book Doctor Appointments
- Embed the appointment portal into your website so patients, family members, and primary care provider offices can schedule appointments with your providers without leaving your website.
- Our system matches patients to providers based on specialty, insurance, location, procedure, etc.
- Patients add their personal information, choose the provider and select day and time for the appointment.
- Direct scheduling can be activated by location, department or provider and patients can still request appointments even if direct scheduling is deactivated.
Patient Instructions
- Define rules in the system to automatically send out appointment instructions to patients via text or email message when the referral is ordered, when the appointment is scheduled or both.

- Templates for appointment reminders can be customized and assigned to locations or departments.
Follow-Up Communications
- Define rules in the system to automatically send out follow-up communications to patients via text or email message a specified number of days after the appointment.
