How automated patient engagement can bridge the gap KLAS explains that survey respondents prioritize technology that has a direct effect on their ability to receive and manage their healthcare. Since then, it’s evolved into streamlined, multi-channel (text, voice, email, and live chat) communications that encourage bidirectional interaction between patients and their care teams. These messages can cover a broad scope of healthcare needs and services, like self-scheduling and self-rescheduling appointments, pre-visit instructions, or other exchanges that close care gaps and improve the patient experience.
