ATLANTA, GA. (September 7, 2021) – Panda Health Inc., the digital health marketplace company, today announced the launch of a new solution category, Unified Patient Messaging, featuring industry leaders Upfront and Artera as the first three awarded suppliers on the marketplace.
Digital tools allow novel forms of communication between doctors and their patients. The best solutions – as exemplified by offerings from Relatient, Upfront, and Artera — improve patient experiences, increase resource allocation, and transform clinical and financial results — critical outcomes to any health care provider.
Solutions in the Unified Patient Messaging category leverage the same communication devices patients use every day, such as text, apps and email. Through these channels, doctors, hospitals and clinics can establish many two-way messaging workflows. Appointment reminders, diagnosis education, care instruction, post-visit surveys, scheduling assistance and more are part of what’s possible with Unified Patient Messaging tools.
