A recent study, authored by Houston Methodist and published in BMJ, highlights the effectiveness of post-discharge text messaging with Artera. The study examined the association between patient engagement with post-discharge texting and outcomes such as HCAHPS scores, readmissions, and revisits. Houston Methodist shows that patients who engaged through text messages (meaning they had 3+ patient-initiated incoming text interactions) experienced significant benefits:

  • 29% fewer hospital admissions
  • 27% lower chance of readmission within 30 days
  • 20% fewer visits
  • Higher satisfaction scores (HCAHPS)

Trends in Patient Communications

Get the latest insights on patient expectations when communicating with healthcare providers.

About the Report:

To better understand how patients respond to different digital patient communication strategies from their healthcare provider and the impact this has on the patient experience, Artera surveyed more than 2,000 U.S. healthcare patients who have engaged with the healthcare system over the last 12 months.

Report

5 Key Findings

1. Today, many healthcare providers use basic texting to deliver transactional requests to patients.

0 %
of patients report that most text exchanges with their healthcare provider were simplistic
0 %
of patients reported an instance where they were able to receive responses to their questions via text

2. Patients are often frustrated with incomplete information from these basic, transactional exchanges.

0 %
report dissatisfaction due to incomplete communication experiences
0 %
are frustrated that they cannot engage in conversational text exchanges with their healthcare provider

3. These incomplete, broken exchanges place the responsibility back on the patient to carry out the request.

Patients either follow up using a different channel or do not follow up at all after having a broken exchange with their healthcare provider:
0 %
followed up via phone
0 %
followed up via email

Nearly 20% let the issue go or attempted to follow via another channel but never got the necessary information which can have significant consequences on their health.

4. Broken provider-patient communication experiences lead to operational inefficiencies, loss of revenue, and negatively impact patient health.

Broken communication exchanges lead to an increased workload for already overburdened healthcare staff and put pressure on providers dealing with workforce shortages.
Operational Inefficiencies
0 %
of clinical support staff reported phone-based patient communication as a source of frustration.
0 %

of the current healthcare workforce is planning to exit the industry by 2025

Revenue Loss
0 %
missed or forgot to pay a bill because of difficulties communicating with their provider.
0 %
are willing to switch doctors if they are provided a broken communications experience
Negative Impact on Health
0 %
of patients reported communication challenges negatively impacting their health.
0 %
let an issue go or attempted to follow up via another channel but never got information – which can significantly impact their health

Did you know? The average hospital loses 10-30% of its revenue to patient referral leakage, resulting in $200-$500M in losses per year.

5. Patients want interactive, digital conversations with their healthcare provider – and are willing to switch providers to get it.

0 %
of patients prefer conversational messaging (when compared to basic texting)
0 %
rated a conversational messaging experience as “excellent” or “good”
0 %
want their healthcare provider to improve their healthcare experience by enabling them to initiate conversations via text on any topic
0 %
are willing to switch doctors if they are provided a broken communications experience

Creating a successful patient communications plan is a critical aspect of how healthcare providers engage with their patients. Today’s U.S. healthcare patients are willing to switch providers when their needs and expectations are not met. To better understand what drives effective patient communication, the Artera Data Insights team conducted a messaging analysis which explored the following questions:

  • What are the components of effective patient communication?
  • Which messages deliver high levels of patient engagement?
  • What communication best practices should providers deploy to meet the communications expectations of patients?

In a six-month long study, Artera Data Insights conducted an extensive analysis of over two billion patient outreaches, encompassing more than 800 healthcare provider organizations, to gain insights into the factors influencing patient engagement.

Artera Data Insights Key Findings:

  • Messages delivered via long code significantly improve patient response rate (70.5% patient response rate for long code vs. 39.3% response rate for short code).
  • Messages delivered in a patient’s native language significantly improve patient response rate by 21% (on average, across our analysis of four different language cohorts).
  • The digital divide still exists with approximately 17% of patients using only landlines (unable to receive text messages) for healthcare communication, making the availability of multiple communications (e.g., SMS/text, email and IVR/voice) channels critical for access.

The first two years of the pandemic pushed clinical support staff to their limits. From disruptions to in-person care, massive amounts of coordination, new regulatory requirements and more, the stress created by ineffective patient communication, exacerbated by the pandemic, led to epic levels of burnout.

In the year since, as we approach the three-year mark of the pandemic’s onset, much has changed in the healthcare system, including a surge in digital innovation.

So, how have these trends affected staff? We wanted to find out. In a new study of more than 300 clinical support staff including nurses, physician assistants, front desk/reception and other medical professionals, we found that burnout and other problems are still high yet on the decline.
