Say goodbye to no‑shows
Use real‑time EHR data to automate the delivery of personalized, interactive appointment reminders and replace manual outreach and rescheduling. Boost care adherence and clinician utilization to maximize revenue potential.
Experience intelligent appointment reminders
The average patient no‑show rate across specialties is 19%, costing the healthcare industry more than $150 billion each year. Missed appointments lead to lost revenue, poor staff utilization, and delayed patient care that can adversely affect outcomes.
Nuance appointment management uses intelligent automation to send patients reminder calls with personalized information on their upcoming appointment. Voice and SMS medical appointment reminders allow patients to interact in real‑time on the contact channel and confirm, cancel, reschedule, and access preparatory support for telehealth.
EHR integration polls for upcoming appointments, distributes reminder calls, and powers interactive rescheduling within the outreach channel. By accessing real‑time patient information and appointment availability, patients conveniently self-service rescheduling 24x7x365—maximizing provider utilization.
A single omni‑channel solution unifies communication and delivers contextually relevant, asynchronous conversations on voice or digital channels for optimal patient reach and flexibility—and easy administration.
Our deep EHR and CRM integrations fuel personalized communication when patient information is incorporated into automated conversational dialogs and interaction details are logged for reference.
