The current pandemic has changed the face of health care in many ways. Tools such as telemedicine and online patient portals have now become not only the new normal, but are required to meet patient expectations. They have redefined safe and effective delivery of healthcare services.

With an integrated solution, patients can schedule appointments, pay bills, and participate more actively in their own health.
