Patient Communication and Engagement

IVR & SMS Patient Communication and Engagement

Delivering Individualized 1-to-1 Patient Communication and Engagement results in better all around healthcare

Datatel’s Patient Communication/Engagement Platform enables you to take a proactive approach to continuous individualized communication between patients and healthcare providers before and after procedures.

As a healthcare provider, you can deliver individualized communication through multiple channels which include voice (IVR), e-mail, web and text messaging.
