Increase your Efficiency with SMS Automation
Seconds matter in healthcare. Use Keywords to generate automated text responses and provide your workforce and patients with on-demand information right when they need it.
Our platform will also automatically segment responses into keyword groups, so you can quickly and effectively follow-up with information related to their desired interests.
HIPAA Compliance and Healthcare SMS
While SMS cannot be fully guaranteed to be HIPAA-compliant, it’s a good idea to look for business SMS providers that follow HIPAA-compliant best practices.
We highly encourage healthcare entities that utilize SMS to adhere to the same practices in communicating as they would with other mediums like email or phone. As with other industries that use text messaging, proper opt in management is critical and healthcare providers must ensure that patients have opted in to receive texts. Additionally, we recommend that if a provider needs to share sensitive information via text, to not do so within the message body, but rather share a link to a secure portal hosted on your own platform where this information resides securely. These best practices ensure healthcare entities can benefit from the real-time communication that SMS provides, while remaining HIPAA-compliant.
“We’re seeing 80% engagement – receiving really good responses. I was thrilled that the staff had an easy way to get a hold of us, that we could respond easily and give them the information they wanted.”
– Bruce Weinberg, Ochsner Health
