“Implementing Artera really exceeded our expectations especially since it’s so easy to train a user on it. We haven’t had any problems so I think it was done really well.”

“Managing the portal was quite cumbersome because it didn’t work directly with [our EHR] NextGen. Basically, it was just spitting out a report [of patient responses] that our staff would still have to review, then update in the IT system accordingly.”

“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.”

“Very few people answer their phones these days, and even fewer check their voicemails.”

“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.”

“Many of our patients are using their cell phones as a lifeline during this pandemic. [Artera] allows us to reach our patients with essential information about COVID-19 and how to access testing and care through San Ysidro Health.”

“In orthopedics, we are all about speed – we want to get people in and get people out quickly. Artera’s automations integrate seamlessly into our EMR and automate parts of our scheduling workflow. Automations to speed up the process, and EMR integrations to simplify our lives.”

"By automating the feedback process via Artera’s conversational messaging capabilities, we've been able to effortlessly generate new reviews, enhance our rating, and ultimately showcase the exceptional care we provide at Newton Clinic. With the valuable insights we continue to gather, we're able to further improve our services, ensuring our patients …

“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.”

“It has become abundantly clear that our population is not interested in remembering another login. Conversational messaging invites patients to respond via text to reschedule versus having to go into a completely different platform, which can act as an added barrier to care.”

“I think our relationship with them had gotten stale — we just didn’t feel like they were keeping up with the industry. Billing was a challenge, we could never get anyone to pick up the phone or get help, and the system was always changing.”

“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.”

"Artera’s platform is a highly effective means for reaching individuals with relevant and appropriate education from WebMD. Together, we are closing that gap to ensure providers can present patients with the most relevant information, based on the point in their care journey."
