BUFFALO, NEW YORK – June22, 2017 – Horizon Health Services today became the first mental health and substance use recovery provider to pilot RateMyHospital®, the real-time, mobile patient relationship management tool throughout its care facilities. “Horizon Health has always taken a person-centered approach to the care of mental health and substance use disorders. RateMyHospital now gives us the tools keep improving based on our patients’ feedback,” said Erin Ryan, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Horizon Health Services, Inc.
With the vast majority of Americans owning a cell phone, Horizon Health is leveraging the use of smartphones across all demographics to improve the patient experience by asking for feedback in real-time. “As providers of mental health and substance use recovery services, it is imperative that we get the patient experience right each and every time. Now more than ever, we have to listen to our patients, and RateMyHospital gives us an efficient and effective way to engage with our patients,” said Anne Constantino, President and Chief Executive Officer of Horizon Health Services, Inc. “We are happy to be the first behavioral health provider to roll this tool out,” she added.
RateMyHospital gives healthcare organizations the ability to instantly receive feedback from patients within minutes after they receive care. This is made possible through the utilization of text messages and smartphone technology to create a dialogue between the provider and their patients. After a text is sent, smartphone users simply press a link allowing them to provide valuable feedback to hospital leadership in real-time.
