Investing in patient experience can increase the number of times people interact with your eye care practice and the quality of these interactions. A stronger relationship with your patients will always result in better healthcare outcomes for them and better financial outcomes for your practice. One of the easiest ways to improve patient experience is through a fully integrated, easy-to-use patient portal. This gives your patients a one-stop destination for all their concerns related to the care they receive from your practice. It also gives you a more effective outlet for direct patient communication. Automated messaging solutions are a great way to build communication with patients and keep them involved and on top of their healthcare self-management. By having this integrated with the rest of your workflow, messages can be generated and sent when performing tasks such as scheduling follow-ups or posting lab results. NextGen® PxP Portal integrates messaging with every step of your workflow to reduce your clicks. An intuitive and comprehensive patient portal can exponentially increase patient access and volume. The PxP Portal is web-based, not an app. This allows access to the patient portal via an email link sent to patients, which is popular with older patients—no more passwords to remember or keep patients from accessing care.
