Extend Your Reach and Efficiency with HIPAA Compliant SMS Messaging
HIPAA compliant SMS offers benefits to healthcare organizations across the board — from new patient acquisition and care to administrative and marketing.
Text messaging is increasingly becoming the preferred method of communication. Americans exchanged over 2 trillion text messages in 2018, a nearly 16% increase year-over-year. Mobile texting has become an expected platform for customer service. Why should healthcare be any different? To attract new patients, you must go to where they are.
Give your patients a text number so they can text you with questions and scheduling. Update patient information using secure forms, cutting down on the time that patients spend in waiting rooms updating current information, and decreasing front office procedures.
