§ Challenge

Challenge

Patients missing appointments at ~28% across specialties. Existing EHR portal unusable on mobile, no video option, reminder system tied to fax workflow — yes, still fax.

[02]
§ Approach

Approach

Built a mobile-first portal on top of the existing EHR (FHIR bridge). WebRTC video with TURN fallback, SMS/email appointment reminders via Twilio, e-prescription handoff through SureScripts. HIPAA infrastructure: audit logging, encryption at rest, BAAs with all vendors.

[03]
§ Outcome

Outcome

No-show rate dropped from 28% to 11%. 22k patients onboarded in year one. Video visits now 34% of all encounters.

"They walked into a HIPAA project eyes-open. Our compliance officer still talks about the audit doc they delivered."
