Improving patient communication pre and post procedure

Problem

A leading healthcare provider in the northeastern United States wanted to improve communication between staff and patients while reducing the bureaucratic burden on medical professionals.

The healthcare provider found its medical staff were bogged down with various bureaucratic burdens like appointment reminder calls and standardized patient communication, spreading staff resources thin.
