Complementary solutions

Appointment Management

On average, 13% of patients are appointment no‑shows. Patients who come to their appointments without the necessary preparations—fasting, completed lab tests, etc.—further impact patient care and organization revenue. Automate voice and SMS appointment reminders or field inbound voice appointment inquiries and offer real‑time rescheduling capabilities on the channel of contact. Enable native messaging from any application and manage proactive outreach to improve appointment adherence, promote wellness, impact revenue, and boost satisfaction.

Patient Support

Provide interactive bilingual 24x7x365 assistance powered by industry‑leading NLU. IVR and virtual assistant capabilities help patients self‑serve account access and activation issues or receive automated answers to frequently asked questions over voice or online chat. Similarly, patients seeking assistance preparing for their virtual visit receive instructions and help with testing and troubleshooting, with the option to transfer to a live agent. Organizations conduct proactive outreach and share useful information that lead to greater patient portal access and telehealth success.
