4 tips for engaging the modern patient

We can see the light at the end of the COVID tunnel, but practices are still struggling to get back on their feet. On average, revenue across specialties is down over 35% and a range of studies have shown patients haven’t been getting the care they need to manage chronic and other serious conditions. You need patients to schedule appointments, and you need them to show up on time and prepared. The way you do this has changed during the pandemic because how patients want to communicate and engage has changed. Join us for this data-driven webinar on best practices to ensure patients schedule and don’t cancel, no-show, or show up unprepared.
