As patients increasingly demand more convenience and connectivity, incorporating digital Patient Engagement solutions is no longer optional — it’s imperative for any practice aiming to thrive in the modern healthcare landscape.
Digital Patient Engagement solutions are at the forefront of healthcare transformation, offering seamless, efficient, and patient-centered care. With a special focus on innovation, healow offers modern solutions that every healthcare practice should integrate into their Patient Engagement strategy.
1. Seamless Online Appointment Scheduling with healow Open Access
The first touchpoint in the patient journey is scheduling an appointment. Today healthcare practices can offer patients the convenience of scheduling appointments online — anytime and anywhere — with an online scheduling solution like healow Open Access.
This platform allows patients to view available slots and book their appointment in real-time with their preferred provider. Similarly, they can cancel and reschedule appointments. This not only helps streamline the practice schedule but also reduces no-shows. By empowering patients with more control over their scheduling, practices can enhance patient satisfaction and streamline their operations.
Creekside Family Practice reports that 90% of total appointments booked monthly are made through the simplified online appointment scheduling solution.
“Before using healow, all our scheduling processes were completed manually. This would add a significant administrative burden on our staff. The eClinicalWorks EHR automatically updates all changes in patient appointments. As a family medicine clinic, implementing solutions that simplify the patient experience is paramount to us.”
–Dr. Hammad Qureshi, owner of Creekside Family Practice
2. Simplifying Payments with healow Pay
healow Pay empowers patients to handle payments efficiently, making it easier than ever to settle bills. This online payment solution provides patients with a secure and convenient way to pay their bills via a link sent to their mobile device.
By offering flexible payment options, healow Pay reduces the administrative burden on staff and accelerates revenue cycles. Patients appreciate the transparency and ease of managing their healthcare finances, fostering trust and loyalty with their healthcare practice.
Neurology Center of New England saw a more than 150% surge in patient payments with healow.
“With healow, patients can now pay faster through the app or website, and sometimes they make payments even before receiving the statements. healow statements facilitates more transparency to patients; they know exactly what they’re paying for.”
– Kate Sciore, VP of operations at the Neurology Center in New England
3. Connecting with Patients through healow TeleVisits
Access to quality healthcare should never be limited by geography. Also, telehealth interactions should be as smooth as in-clinic ones. That is why healow TeleVisits™ offers a robust online solution to bridge the gap between patients and providers.
This platform allows patients to connect with their healthcare providers via secure, high-quality video conferencing. healow TeleVisits ensures continuity of care and enhances patient convenience, enabling them to receive medical advice and care without leaving their homes.
This solution is particularly invaluable for patients living in remote areas, ensuring that quality care is always within reach. The nation’s largest private neurology group, First Choice Neurology, has been utilizing healow TeleVisits to provide patients with virtual consultations.
“In this day and age where everybody is so busy, sometimes it can be difficult to schedule a whole afternoon off for a follow-up visit. TeleVisits are a fundamental transformation, a fundamental pivot point in how we are going to be practicing medicine going forward.”
–Dr. Jeff Gelblum, Senior Attending Physician, First Choice Neurology
4. The Future of Patient Communication: healow Genie

This innovative solution will seamlessly handle routine inquiries, appointment confirmations, and even send follow-up reminders to patients.

Some large practices and health centers, such as Alliance Spine and Pain Center, have selected healow Genie and are keen to implement the AI contact center solution.
“I believe that healow Genie can help us data mine our calls, being able to answer those calls more efficiently allows us to speed up wait times. It will significantly help improve patient experience.”
