CHALLENGE

Fragmented Patient Experience Across 35 Clinics

Tool Fragmentation

Four separate vendors for reminders, telehealth, surveys, and messaging — no unified patient view or data sharing.

High No-Show Rates

18% no-show rate costing the network an estimated $2.4M annually in lost revenue and underutilised clinical capacity.

Poor Patient Satisfaction

HCAHPS scores in the 42nd percentile — well below the network's target of 75th percentile for patient communication.

Vendor Lock-In Costs

Combined annual spend of $680K across 4 vendors with inflexible contracts and limited customisation options.

SOLUTION

Strategic Approach

UNIFIED PLATFORM

Single platform covering appointments, messaging, telehealth, surveys, and care plan engagement — one login for patients.

SMART REMINDERS

ML-powered reminder engine — optimal channel (SMS/email/call), timing, and frequency based on patient response history.

INTEGRATED TELEHEALTH

HIPAA-compliant video visits with in-session clinical documentation, e-prescribing, and EHR auto-sync.

REAL-TIME FEEDBACK

Post-visit surveys triggered automatically — sentiment analysis dashboards for clinic managers with drill-down by provider.

EPIC DEEP INTEGRATION

Bi-directional HL7 FHIR integration — patient data, scheduling, clinical summaries, and care gaps surfaced in real-time.

MOBILE-FIRST DESIGN

React Native app for iOS and Android — 4.8-star App Store rating within 90 days of launch.
