The Patient Outreach app packages together the core components of a deployable prototype for SMS-based outreach. This app aims to support healthcare providers, payors, and life sciences organizations that are interested in building their own outreach solution to understand what is possible using Twilio, and to accelerate the path to success by providing core building blocks and workflows for a working prototype.

To showcase how Twilio can support your needs whether you’re a healthcare provider, payor or part of a life sciences organization, the Patient Outreach app bakes in three example use cases, each tailored to a unique point of view: 

• Healthcare Providers: post-procedure outreach to patients, checking in on how they’re feeling and on scheduling a follow-up appointment with a specialist 
• Healthcare Payors: new member outreach, sharing information on available resources and engagement content
• Life Sciences/Pharma: outreach to potential research study participants, administering an eligibility questionnaire 

The architecture of the Patient Outreach app is aimed at getting you up and running as quickly as possible: there are no third party cloud-services requirements, SMS is the sole communication channel leveraged, and EHR integration is not a requirement for a fully-functioning app. Although we had simpler implementations in mind as we designed the blueprint’s prototype application, the solution could be matured to fully integrate with your EHR or to leverage an omni-channel engagement approach.

See the Patient Outreach Implementation Guide for detailed instructions on installation and configuration.
