What Are the 4 Biggest Benefits Offered By the Live Chat?
Depending on the specialization of your medical clinic the HIPAA compliant chat could be used in a big variety of ways and it can bring many benefits to your business. But there are 4 important benefits that any medical clinic will be able to obtain from it and they are:

Your patients can schedule appointments themselves by using the forms on the portal. You do not need to worry, because they will be able to do so only between the free periods. In this way, no problems will appear in your staff’s schedule. Moreover, your patients can use the forms to offer as much information as possible about their condition.
