Unpredictable weather events and technology outages can frustrate both patients and providers or disrupt care at a crucial time of need. Healthcare systems with well-developed disaster management plans and solid communication strategies can seamlessly prevent missed visits by leveraging an easy-to-use, scalable telehealth platform.

Through proactive communications, UAMS shifted all in-person patient visits to virtual via Doximity Dialer; a HIPAA-secure, EHR-integrated tool, resulting in zero missed appointments during the period of severe weather.
