“Offering the electronic tool as an alternative to human interaction supports patient and family preference and adds value to our organization.”

“We would have to try to contact every single patient at the very last minute. It’s incredibly disruptive to try to get ahold of that many patients."

“Conversation Builder allowed us to screen our patients in a safe way, dramatically reducing further outbreaks, streamlining the patient experience, and reducing hundreds of hours of staff time on the phone. It has empowered us to effectively communicate with our patients and we’re continuing to explore new ways to use …

“After the final automated question, we already have about 80 percent of the information we need for an appointment – almost everything.”

“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 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.”

“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?”

“What we found is that seniors text more than people believe, especially those who are moving here to retire from other areas.”

“They love (Artera)! It’s one of those things that, if it went away, I think we would have very unhappy patients.”

“The staff would love for everyone to utilize the texting feature. It’s less burdensome, and it allows them to handle multiple patients almost simultaneously.”

“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.”

“Our patients love (Artera). It’s overdue; we should have been on this a long time ago. Patients can do multiple things, send a text, and not have to be waiting around for a response.”
