“They don’t have to sit and leave messages and wait for a phone call back. If they have a question, they text us and we respond back to it.”
“We’ve discovered that people can’t ignore text messages; it’s just ingrained in us. Often they are surprised that they have a balance at all, even though we had mailed statements and called multiple times.”
“In this industry it takes longer to see benefits but with the no-show rates reduction, [Artera] has paid for itself several times over. The ROI is definitely there.”
“Artera has given us a better way to talk to our patients, an easier, more efficient way to reach out to patients, and a better way to handle scheduling.”
“We want to make it very easy for families to communicate with us and we know that bidirectional texting is important to them. I think as we start rolling this all out, that’s how our families are going to really want to communicate with us.”
“First, we had to get everybody to understand what each needed and what each could provide, but once we had that straightened out, this kind of integration went very smoothly.”
“Offering the electronic tool as an alternative to human interaction supports patient and family preference and adds value to our organization.”
“There is system awareness now that transportation is a patient need. And because of this data, we’re making headway on closing these gaps by asking questions earlier in the workflow, upon scheduling.”
“We are always thinking about how to improve communications with patients. They often contact our practice when they are at a low point, and we strive to make them feel heard and cared for.”
“With Artera, we can make changes to broadcasts or automations, and they’re implemented instantly.”
"Before, when the front desk took payment, staff had to manually enter it into the practice management system which was a multi-step process. Auto-posting patient payments in real-time is a huge win and saves on labor.”
“The investment is worth it. With a dedicated Artera team, we don’t just implement the technology and then forget about it - we constantly keep it fresh and updated with new best practices. We’re always using it, keeping it in the forefront of staff and continuing to iterate on our strategies. The Artera platform makes it pretty seamless to do so.”
“Our staff adapted to using Artera pretty quickly and realized that it was much easier to text a patient than it was to call them.”
"Health iPass is committed to simplifying the check-in process and payment workflow for patients. Integrating our communications via Artera Harmony accelerates this mission by delivering patients their relevant checkin and payment information via one trusted provider phone number, improving the overall patient experience."
“The ability to communicate back and forth, assuring patients that we are here for them both virtually and in-person is crucial as we continue to safely provide care in the midst of this pandemic.”
