Health Education and Screening Systems



The PreventionPays™ system delivers reliable health education and assessments to patients in the waiting room. Patients find the system very easy to use, and prefer tablet-assisted screening. Providers can save time, eliminate common errors in paper screening methods and offer improved services to patients. Combine PreventionPays Screening with PreventionPays Text and revolutionize how you communicate with your patients. Text messaging is a preferred channel for health tips, appointment reminders, and obtaining pre-authorization for health benefits or other crucial info prior to appt. Our robust Two-Way texting platform offers a secure channel for your staff to send text alerts, reminders and quickly obtain key information prior to an appt, right from their computer workstation. Analytics are included in both programs. You'll be amazed how much time you'll save. Text is how the public is choosing to communicate. Read More
