Rhinogram Digital Care & Communication Platform

Bee Well Pediatrics in El Paso Texas continually seeks to innovate and integrate in order to provide access and continuity of care. Bee Well Pediatrics implemented Rhinogram for its ability to reach and engage patients even at a distance, while also integrating into existing workflows and processes, and auto-populating the electronic health record systems to optimize and integrate with existing workflows. 

When a child gets sick or has an accident, time is of the essence. Parents want to get their children seen by a doctor without having to wait weeks for an appointment or miss an afternoon of work or school because of long wait times. 

In a study of 21 million outpatient visits, researchers found that more than one-fifth of doctor’s visits had wait times longer than 20 minutes and Medicaid patients were more likely to wait even longer. In El Paso, patients face the longest wait times in the country–just under 27 minutes. Across the nation in major and mid-sized metropolitan areas, scheduling a new patient appointment takes an average of 24 days to be seen.

For Bee Well El Paso Pediatrics, integrating Rhinogram means treatment can be provided to patients wherever they may be leading to better care and better patient experience.

The average a patient spends in a pediatric office is more than 2 hours for a 15-minute appointment. Pediatric systems like Bee Well can better cater to the needs of busy parents and caregivers with Rhinogram and reduce wait times through virtual care options for busy patients and those who do not need to be seen in person. Parents can interact with pediatric systems safely and securely to complete every task across the patient journey digitally: 

• Initiate an SMS/MMS text message to the Pediatric system's main phone number to ask questions and initiate a new patient appointment without having to make a phone call. 
• Receive, complete, and digital intake forms automatically from the system via SMS/MMS text link and can complete intake forms on their mobile device with as little as one bar of cell service, and without having to take the added step of logging into a portal, download an app, print out forms or complete them by hand. 
• Receive appointment reminders and utilize self-service rescheduling.
• Check in remotely, remain safely within a virtual waiting room, and receive instructions to go to their exam room on the day of the appointment. 
• Message real-time with the administrative and care team and participate in virtual video care interactions vs in-person. 
• Receive and reference aftercare instructions, initiate a text with follow-up questions, and follow-up appointments, receive ongoing education and campaign blasts, and complete payments via RhinoPay.
