    Top 5 Ways Practices Can Use Secure Text

    Healthcare practices and pharmacies have spent countless hours calling patients and customers to set new appointments, reschedule missed appointments, remind about vaccinations and med refills, provide test results, and more.

    Is text messaging really a good replacement for your phone calls?

    Secure Texting & SMS from Updox gives your practice or pharmacy an effective option to reach out to patients quickly and avoid all those phone calls trying to reach them.

    Updox Secure Text, a critical piece of our Patient Communication platform, gives your practice an easier and more effective option to reach patients in ways a phone call never could.

    How can you replace phone calls? 

    1. Lab results where levels are within expected range
      Your staff is frustrated that it takes 3 calls to connect with a patient to give them good news. Take a quick moment to imagine yourself as the patient who misses three calls from their provider and doesn't yet know that it's good news!
    2. Appointment management
      Cancellations and no shows are costly to your business and to the health of your patients as well. Skip the phone tag, get them re-scheduled and move on.
    3. Updating insurance information or billing items
      Your patient can send you a picture of their updated insurance card rather than scanning and faxing or coming into the practice.
    4. Go digital with forms they can fill out easily on their phone
      Shoot them a link to a hosted digital form that submits right into your Updox inbox. Easy for them to complete, and even easier for your staff to send and later file to the chart.
    5. Extend patient experience outside of your practice
      Send patients educational materials after diagnosis to reiterate expectations and keep them off of WebMD or Google.
