Problem
America’s Family Doctors’ challenge was engaging and communicating with their patients effectively. They sought a solution to maintain a full schedule, especially when dealing with cancellations and no-shows. Also, they aimed to enhance patient engagement and communication, ensuring the longevity and security of their practices.
Solution
America’s Family Doctors’ solution to improving patient engagement is healow. This EHR-agnostic healthcare IT platform streamlines communication between care teams and patients and allows patients to self-schedule appointments – all through a simple-to-use mobile app. With healow, practices can keep schedules full, reduce no-shows, and help improve patient care. Physicians can also communicate with patients in real-time, as demonstrated by the example of a patient with cerebral palsy who needed approval for a Disneyland® trip.
