Hospitals and outpatient clinics can also digitally navigate patients from the time an order is placed to when it is scheduled and completed through follow-up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Patient Navigation Manager automatically guides patients through their care journey using Hipaa-compliant SMS, email and voice messages. With the MedChat capabilities, patients have the ability to perform complex tasks by linking directly with live agents using MedChat\u2019s chatbot services. Medchat\u2019s natural language processing (NLP) reads and understands patients\u2019 messages, while its machine-learning algorithms adapt over time to provide the most relevant information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Its symptom checker and triage bot \u2013 now embedded within Patient Navigation Manager\u2019s core communications technologies \u2013 evaluates 125,000 evidence-based references to diagnose patients and recommend the appropriate care setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPhilips continues to demonstrate our ongoing commitment and leadership in patient management and engagement with fully integrated solutions into our suite of smart connected imaging systems,\u201d said Brent Berthy, general manager of precision diagnosis at Philips. \u201cBy combining MedChat\u2019s technology with Philips Patient Navigation Manager, we can help healthcare enterprises deliver streamlined diagnostic workflows that meet the quadruple aim of better patient outcomes, enhanced patient and staff experiences, and lower operational costs due to the elimination of burdensome manual outreach task.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since its introduction a year ago, Patient Navigation Manager has experienced widespread adoption among health systems in the USA, generating early success including an 86% reduction in same-day cancellations, a 45% reduction in no-shows and a 30% increase in referral conversion efficiency. It easily scales across the enterprise, and is accessible through a mobile device or computer without the need for patients to download an app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPhilips Patient Navigation Manager does a great job helping providers communicate with patients while improving outcomes, while MedChat helps make that Hipaa-compliant conversation two-way, real time and an enhanced experience,\u201d said Matt Yagey, CEO at North Carolina-based MedChat. \u201cWe are excited to bring our integrated solution to Philips customers and also see an enormous need for Patient Navigation Manager among our hundreds of customers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Philips-Medchat collaboration follows a similar enhancement to connect patients digitally to practitioners outside the hospital or clinic. Earlier this year, Philips teamed with OpenDoctor to integrate real-time patient self-scheduling capabilities into Patient Navigation Manager. The customisable, single-vendor offering for radiology patient management aims to reduce lost slots, improve speed of scheduling, optimise appointment preparation, and improve patient and staff satisfaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Patient Navigation Manager is a software-as-a-service (SaaS) offering.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":26710,"featured_media":13609,"template":"","news-category":[54],"library-tag":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Philips integrates MedChat live chat into patient navigation - IoT M2M Council<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.iotm2mcouncil.org\/iot-library\/news\/connected-health-news\/philips-integrates-medchat-live-chat-into-patient-navigation\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Philips integrates MedChat live chat into patient navigation - IoT M2M Council\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Philips is integrating US firm MedChat\u2019s live chat and AI-driven chatbot services into its Patient Navigation Manager, helping improve call centre efficiency and speed the time to resolve patient inquiries.
