Simply stated, MyCareText is a driver of patient engagement. It is a powerful messaging tool for connecting patients
and their family members with their healthcare providers throughout the entire cycle of care.
It is a cloud-based, messaging platform that works with your EHR to
send texts and email to family and friends to inform them of the patient’s progress, to help with organizing tasks, and to provide information
in real time in order to keep key support people in the loop.
Its simplicity of function encourages participation of the family in a team effort to reduce stress, to speed up recovery,
and to help ensure successful outcomes.
MyCareText gives health care providers a compliant framework to engage with their patients and family before, during, and after a procedure.
Through its appointment reminders, preparation information distribution, and medication reminders
MyCareText provides pre procedure support. At post procedure, MyCareText assists with organizing transportation,
home health care coordination, improving medication adherence, and overall follow up including a strongly pre-adopted channel for
capturing patient and family feedback.
A patient is added to MyCareText directly via the hospitals EHR or by manual entry. The primary family member or caregiver,
as well as additional contacts can then be linked to a patient, each receiving timely updates.
In advance of a procedure, patients and primary contacts receive messages to remind them of important information and expected milestones.
Throughout the procedure, loved ones are updated with pre-programmed messages after every
significant step.
Using their own mobile devices and without having to join a portal or download and install a phone app,
the message recipients can follow the patient’s progress from planning to intake to discharge and recovery.
Using text messages and emails, the patient's key contacts are always "kept in the loop" throughout the process of care coordination.
No special equipment is needed. No hardware to purchase. No software to install.
MyCareText is cloud based SaaS (software as a service) which translates into rapid implementation and
adoption by hospital staff.
