The NectarOM patient engagement platform equips hospitals and health systems to deliver automated, targeted and personalized content to consumers and patients directly, easily and effectively.
Provider of Choice
Attract new patients and increase patient volume with targeted messaging, not generic marketing.
From Volume to Value
Patient engagement is the cornerstone of success in shared savings programs, bundled payments, capitation and any other value-based care models that tie reimbursement to outcomes.
Clinical Support
Support physicians in management of patients with chronic conditions, such as diabetes, arthritis or cancer.
Clinical Improvement
Reduce unnecessary admissions and readmissions and improve care outcomes.
Consumerism the Right Way
Today’s consumers expect convenience, on-demand service and personalized content. Translating what works in retail hasn’t been a smooth transition for health care consumers. Manual, outdated appointment scheduling processes; lack of personalized content; inability to connect personal health and wellness information to the actual care experience all frustrate today’s health care consumer-patients.
Practice Management
Today’s physician practice is overwhelmed with the 21st century’s version of paperwork. EMRs haven’t lived up to their potential, and every day a new app or tool promises to simplify the back office and make it possible for physicians to do what they are trained to do – deliver health care. Yet, physicians remain frustrated, and practices are not optimized.
your partner for true patient engagement.
Simple. Effective. Automated.
