OB/GYN Associates of Erie is a 35-provider OB/GYN practice spanning 5 locations across the greater Erie, Pennsylvania, area, including Northeast Ohio and Western New York. The practice was looking for a patient communication tool that allowed patient-initiated messaging, and that staff would be able to utilize for clinical results and notifications. With the help of Klara, they’ve been able to provide their patients with a way to receive notifications about lab results and communicate in a discrete way without having to remember log-in credentials.
