Patient comms without GoBetween
Clinic
Patient Database
EmailInsecure: email address may be wrongUnreliable: email may be blocked, automatically go to Spam, or not read for days
LettersSlow: 2-3 days to arrive with a patientInsecure: could be lost, delayed, intercepted or opened by partners or parentsCostly: (in the UK) approx. £1.50 total cost per letter
TextInsecure: (better than email but) still may be delivered to the wrong person (or not delivered at all if number is wrong or incomplete)Limited in scope: can only deliver short messages
Outbound communications – from clinic to patient
Telephone callsInefficient: generally limited to the hours that the staff in clinic or hospital call centre workCumbersome: (in the UK) cannot leave message on answerphones or voicemail – multiple calls needed to reach the patient“Patient unfriendly”: Potentially annoying for patients being disturbed at work or in the evenings, or to receive calls from “unknown” numbers

GoBetween
Patient comms without GoBetween
Clinic
Patient Database
Email (usually via specific Webforms)Cumbersome / expensive: (good) web forms take time and effort to design, need to fit in with internal processes and systems and are expensive to maintain, as internal systems change or are removed and/or replaced
LettersSlow / ineffective: may take days to be handled and all incoming letters need to be processed and matched against patients, handled, stored etc.Costly: 10-15 minutes handling time per letter, for processing,
TextLimited in scope: Few systems handle inbound texting (Mikkom’s Messenger system does!)
Inbound communications – from patient to clinic
Telephone callsInefficient: generally limited to the hours that the staff in clinic or hospital call centre work.Cumbersome: Takes up staff time to (a) find the correct person / department and then takes up departmental staff time dealing with the call.Costly: Needs “real people” to do this taskPatient dis-satisfaction: often “on hold” or being passed from person to person to have issue resolved – frustrating for patients
