Scheduling

“AI capabilities that keep improving”

Pros

AI features keep getting better and the direct integration with our EMR makes a noticeable difference. We can get back to patients quickly and when appointments are canceled, they're removed from the providers' schedules immediately.

Cons

Like any software it has its glitches. Rarely but self-scheduling lets patients create duplicate charts but that issue does seem to be getting better over time.

“Fast patient outreach”

Pros

Reaching patients through this has been quick and simple. It has really reduced the number of calls our nurses need to make.

Cons

It does have bugs from time to time and occasionally the system goes down for an entire day without any warning. It always ends up coming back online though.

“Good but has problems”

Pros

We really like Klara's patient reminder system because it has enabled our team to fully customize the types of messages we send out to patients, such as new patient intake forms, pre-appointment prep instructions, reminders about upcoming appointments and it even supports patients sending back follow-up feedback via a survey about their most recent visits.

Cons

There are persistent glitches that take forever to sort out. Most recently it's been their self-scheduling platform. we were scheduled to go live at the end of April and they still can't identify the problem and their communication has been quite sparse. If we don't proactively reach out, we receive no updates.
