Attract New Patients
Prospective patients can complete forms on your website to express interest in your services, such as neurology or orthopedics. Cheers can then automatically follow up, helping bring new patients into your organization. In addition, Cheers can identify existing patients who are candidates for new services or who might be interested in new locations and share those opportunities with them.

For one patient, the time from text message to completed eye exam was just 45 minutes. The patient was across the street from his clinic getting coffee when he got the message. He noticed there was an open appointment time in 20 minutes. He walked across the street and got the exam he needed. It can be that fast from campaign to completion.

From 'Me' to 'We:' Creating One Atrium Health with a Centralized Call Center
"Patients used to have an allegiance to a particular physician or practice, so they had more tolerance for long wait times or 'the way my doctor does things.' Now, patients don't have that level of tolerance. They expect good customer service because that’s what they get in other areas of their life. The patient doesn't see us as 'Atrium pediatrics' or 'Atrium family medicine'—they see the whole organization as 'Atrium Health,' one single entity, and they want us to see ourselves that way, too."
