“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 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.”

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

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”
