Patient text messaging is a convenient and effective way to stay connected with your patients. Use it to remind patients about their appointments, facilitate patient follow-up, or answer caregiver questions. With patient text messaging, healthcare providers can engage patients in a convenient and direct manner.
What are the benefits of Patient Text Messaging?
Patient text messaging is adopted by healthcare facilities to realize the following benefits:
