Healthcare Patient Engagement System
Automated patient communication and appointment management system for medical practice
Project Overview
The client wanted to improve patient engagement and reduce administrative burden on staff while ensuring all communications remained secure and compliant with healthcare regulations.
The Challenge
The practice was losing valuable clinical time to administrative tasks like appointment confirmations, answering routine questions, and managing patient follow-ups. Patient no-show rates were impacting revenue and care continuity.
