“Our patients are asking for a robust ability to find the right provider at a time when it’s convenient for them. We are excited to partner with Odoro, because we think it will allow our patients to easily schedule their care” -Jason Swoboda, TGH

Odoro, a leader in digital patient access solutions, today announced a new partnership with Tampa General Hospital (TGH), a recognized world-class hospital. TGH will adopt the Odoro digital platform, which gives patients fast and convenient online and self-scheduling 24/7 through multiple channels. The new partnership enables TGH to take its patient-centric approach to a new level with a mobile scheduling system that maximizes patient access and operational efficiency.

Harnessing Odoro’s comprehensive and innovative platform, TGH can optimally match patients with the right provider for improved patient satisfaction and retention, while reducing rates of cancellations and no-shows. Patients with smartphones, tablets or computers will find the platform easy to use, but less tech-savvy patients also can enjoy fast and easy access to appointments through Odoro’s Interactive Voice Response (IVR) solution.

“Our patients are asking for a robust ability to find the right provider at a time when it’s convenient for them. We are excited to partner with Odoro, because we think it will allow our patients to easily schedule their care,” said Jason Swoboda, Associate Director of Emerging Technologies and Health Innovation at Tampa General Hospital. “Our patients expect to find and book appointments with the right provider quickly and easily with no waiting. Odoro’s innovative platform enables Tampa to deliver a patient-centric experience.”

TGH selected the Odoro solution for its capabilities to create fully customizable digital scheduling workflows that consider complex business logic and patient-provider preferences. Seamlessly integrated into Tampa’s website, Odoro’s matching algorithm, Schedlogic™, allows patients to easily find their optimal provider instantly 24/7. Accessible through Tampa’s website on any mobile/tablet device, the new real-time solution will also streamline the intake process and improve referrals management to further enhance patient engagement, while also driving operational efficiency.

“With patients now acting like consumers when choosing their providers, delivering a seamless digital front door experience is now even more critical than ever for health care organizations,” said Ohad Ranen, Odoro CEO. “We are therefore delighted to partner with Tampa to deliver a complete experience that makes finding, scheduling and accessing the right provider, easy, convenient and quick – much like shopping on Amazon.”
