“Providers are choosing Relatient to quickly adapt to the unexpected, reopen and ensure patient access, while protecting patients and staff during in-office and virtual care,” said Michele Perry, Relatient CEO.

Relatient, a SaaS-based patient engagement company rated #1 by KLAS for “Patient Outreach” in 2020, announced its newest product, Broadcast Messenger, a follow-up to its popular on-demand patient messaging solution, Demand Messaging. Relatient’s on-demand solution was redesigned to empower healthcare organizations with an easier-to-use, self-service tool that quickly distributes important communications to many patients and groups at once using text, email and voice calls.

Using the previous on-demand messaging product, Relatient customers have sent nearly 11 million time-sensitive messages to patients relaying important updates about COVID, fires, telehealth, and care access since March. To maximize the technology, Broadcast Messenger now offers expanded capabilities and updated user-friendly features with increased speed, ease-of-use, and faster delivery which enables providers and patients to stay connected.

A West Coast customer offered their recent perspective after using Relatient to manage the impact of fires on patient care and manage their hospital and clinics closing.

“A small silver lining: Tuesday when I was evacuated from my home office, I was able to get WiFi at a small rural lodge,” said the customer. “I was able to log in to the Relatient portal to use demand messaging and we sent thousands of emergency messages – everything from emergency closures, to messages of we’re open to your appointment has been moved. That thing works great!”

“Providers are choosing Relatient to quickly adapt to the unexpected, reopen and ensure patient access, while protecting patients and staff during in-office and virtual care,” said Michele Perry, Relatient CEO. “Relatient has ramped up its product, implementation, and support resources to accelerate our roadmap and help healthcare maintain operations and recover, releasing Broadcast Messenger ahead of schedule.”

Broadcast Messenger offers updated features and added-value at no additional charge when purchasing the Relatient Appointment Reminders solution, including:

  • Newly designed user interface with an intuitive workflow for simple ease of use
  • Flexible functionality offers self-service use, custom messages, and list management
  • Customizable group messaging based on location, providers, and appointment types

The new release follows other recent upgrades to the Relatient patient engagement platform focused on evolving user and patient experiences.
