PUSH MESSAGING

Being able to provide the best care during all hours of the day can be a hard demand to maintain. Patients can often become dissatisfied when they have to wait for staff to answer their questions or to address their concerns. One study found that 75% of patients who waited less than 10 minutes gave an excellent or good rating compared with 3% of patients who remained longer than 20 minutes. A tool that can be reliable, fast and automated to help the staff communicate to the patient is no longer a need but a necessity. Therefore, HCI employed Push Messaging. Read More...

Studies have shown that as many as 40% of patients over 65 had medication errors after leaving the hospital, and 18% of Medicare patients discharged from a hospital are readmitted within 30 days.
