Secure Texting: a Key to Connecting Patients with Their Care Team

How engaged are your patients? If you’re honest with yourself, the answer probably lands somewhere between somewhat and not at all. Even as people grow more interconnected online and engaged in their favorite brands, very rarely do we see them taking the same interest in their own healthcare journey. The conversation is rarely two-sided, relying mostly on the doctor or nurse telling them what they should be doing rather than providing input on their day to day activities which could impact their care.

Secure Texting During COVID-19

The pandemic of COVID-19 is causing a disruption in both personal and professional lives. Individuals are strongly urged to practice social distancing, while businesses are having to adjust business models in order to keep employees and consumers safe. This fast-spreading infection has taken a massive toll on the healthcare industry. Hospitals and clinics are flooded with patients and calls about possible symptoms, in addition to this time of the year already being allergy and flu season. The influx of pressure has caused the healthcare system to see a shortage of supplies and bed space. With local, state, and federal regulations and guidelines put into place in an effort to “flatten the curve,” healthcare institutions are still wrestling with the reality of a highly-contagious virus.
