Overview

Transforming patient engagement with a modern digital portal

The client is a U.S.-based multi-specialty outpatient provider group operating multiple clinic locations. Their existing patient portal, bundled with the EHR, offered limited functionality and suffered from poor usability, resulting in low adoption and continued reliance on phone-based support for scheduling, messaging, billing, and intake.

To improve digital engagement, the client partnered with A&I Solutions to develop a modern patient portal integrated with its customizable EHR and EMR. The new solution unified appointments, secure messaging, medical records, digital intake, and online payments into a single mobile-first experience that encouraged patients to self-manage their healthcare.

Challenge & Solution

Replacing fragmented patient interactions with digital self-service

The Challenge

  • Low adoption of the existing patient portal due to poor usability.
  • Patients relied on phone calls for scheduling, billing, and routine communication.
  • Limited mobile accessibility prevented consistent patient engagement.

Our Solution

  • Developed a unified patient portal with scheduling, messaging, records, intake, and payments.
  • Delivered responsive web and native mobile applications.
  • Connected patient actions directly to clinical and operational systems through real-time integrations.
Solution Architecture

Secure cloud architecture connecting patients with healthcare services

A&I Solutions developed a cloud-native patient engagement platform hosted on Microsoft Azure. Using FHIR R4 APIs, HL7 v2.x messaging, SMART on FHIR, Azure API Management, OAuth 2.0, RBAC, and Single Sign-On (SSO), the portal synchronized appointments, patient records, messaging, billing, and intake workflows with the organization’s existing EHR and operational systems while maintaining HIPAA-compliant security.
