Top 10 Essentials for Patient Communication

Good patient communication solutions are critical to building patient relationships, especially in today’s digital world where patients are constantly bombarded by communication. You want to be heard but not overwhelming, clear but not boring. So, as you’re looking for a patient communication solution, make sure it has these capabilities.

Regular, Personalized Communication

Above all, your patient communication solution should help you build relationships with patients. With regular, clear communication, you stay top of mind, which can lead to more regular appointments and fewer missed appointments. When patients are able to customize their communication preferences with your practice, they can stay informed on their care and your practice, which helps them feel engaged and connected.

Solutions to Make Appointments Easy

Another way your patient communication software should help is by reducing the friction around keeping your schedule full. When patients can schedule an appointment in seconds online, they are more likely to get back in the chair if they’ve been dormant and schedule regular re-care – maybe even filling last-minute holes in your schedule. And consider this: Not only does online self-scheduling give patients what they want, but it’s a huge timesaver for your front desk team and it lets them focus on other revenue-generating tasks.

Tools to Attract Patients

Good patient communication solutions give you the tools to attract new patients and keep regular patients coming back. With software that automates sending, collecting and posting reviews online, it’s easy to learn what patients think about your practice. You can then make changes to keep them coming back while attracting new patients through even more positive reviews.

A patient communication solution that includes regular and personalized communication, solutions to make appointments easy and tools to attract patients is an important start, but they’re just part of the 10 essentials that your software needs to provide the best tools and value for your practice.
