| Adam Cherrington and Spencer Snyder
Consumerism and patient-centric tools are an increasing focus in healthcare— previous KLAS research validated that patients’ top priority for patient engagement technology is the ability to schedule appointments and check in online. Patient intake management solutions offer such capabilities, among others, and can help improve patient engagement and satisfaction. These solutions experienced exponential growth during the COVID-19 pandemic , and they continue to be important as healthcare organizations work toward increased efficiency and cost savings. While all measured vendors have room to improve functionality (e.g., two-way patient texting, patient satisfaction surveys), this report validates the breadth and depth of patient intake management solutions, identifies the outcomes these solutions drive, and examines the respective merits of third-party and EHR solutions.
