Aprima, An eMDs Company, Announces Integration With RavePoint

Relationship will help medical practices improve the patient scheduling and appointment reminder experience

Austin, TX /PRNewswire/ - Today, Aprima Medical Software, an eMDs company, and leading provider of innovative electronic health record (EHR), practice management (PM) and revenue cycle management (RCM) solutions for medical practices announced it has entered into a strategic partnership and cooperation agreement with RavePoint™, a company specializing in the development of automation tools to improve the patient scheduling and appointment reminder experience.

Under the terms of the agreement RavePoint will provide Aprima EHR and PM users with access to RavePoint's automation tools that assist with online patient scheduling, waitlist management, patient-experience surveys, and the auto-delivery of reminders, notifications, and alerts. The RavePoint technology will be fully integrated into the Aprima system.

RavePoint algorithmically processes patient data, then encourages patient-practice engagement by delivering automated notifications and alerts at optimal times throughout the patient's continuum of care. "Aprima and RavePoint work seamlessly as one. From prompting patients to schedule their annual exams to sending post-appointment patient experience surveys, they handle everything for us – right down to making sure our patients receive all their reminders in the proper language," said Debbie Smith of Gallatin Women's Center in Tennessee.

"Interoperability is the byproduct of a positive patient-outcome focus. Enabling 21st century communication between patient and practice is a key component of patient engagement. A properly written text message, or a series of messages exchanged at the right times, can mean the difference between a patient scheduling and showing up for a much-needed visit, or not. The integration between Aprima and RavePoint raises the bar on what can be done," according to RavePoint CEO and president Brian Maguire.

According to Aprima COO Neil Simon, "RavePoint allows our users to modernize the patient scheduling and appointment reminder experience on their own timeline, in a way that aligns with the goals of their organization. This relationship is another example of eMDs' ongoing commitment to embrace, incorporate and make available new technologies as they become relevant."
