Forest Lane Pediatrics Saves Time With Klara for athenahealth
Forest Lane Pediatrics, an 18-provider pediatric practice spanning three locations across the Dallas, Texas, metropolitan area, serves over 25,000 patients. The practice was using disparate patient communication tools including a patient portal, phone calls, voicemails and other software, which led to staff inefficiencies. With the help of Klara, the nursing staff now saves hours each day¹ by consolidating all patient outreach into one, simplified channel.
In pediatrics, parents want to reach someone right away to help their sick child. Klara allows these parents to send us photos, fill out forms and communicate faster than being on hold or waiting for a voicemail to be returned.
