“Patients were asking for it. You can get text messages from your hairstylist or veterinarian — the technology is clearly available — why not receive them from your doctor’s office?”
“Offering the electronic tool as an alternative to human interaction supports patient and family preference and adds value to our organization.”
“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.”
“It’s hard enough to be a patient – we want to make their experience with us as positive and seamless as possible.”
“It really helped to have the same shared vision. Partnerships are built by continuous effort. Organizationally, you have to eliminate the walls between IT and the business – we’re all in this together.”
“After the final automated question, we already have about 80 percent of the information we need for an appointment – almost everything.”
“It’s been life-changing. Artera has definitely given us a competitive advantage to continue in this industry.”
“We were looking for a more up-to-date patient engagement tool. We needed more timely communication with patients.”
“We just knew that there had to be a better way and we had confidence that Artera could help us solve this.”
“It’s very user-friendly, it’s very intuitive for the user. That’s what drew me to Artera.”
“They love (Artera)! It’s one of those things that, if it went away, I think we would have very unhappy patients.”
“Being able to send a text that will come through - that they can read twice - is a wonderful thing. It’s been a great way to connect with them that way.”
“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.”
“It’s just a better way to communicate overall. Sometimes our patients are busy at work and can’t get to the phone, so texting enables them to respond when they can.”
“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.”
