As the latest addition to the Patient Concierge app, hospital geofencing places a virtual fence around your hospital or health system location and allows you to send custom push notifications directly to your patients or visitor's smartphone as they get near the hospital.
Geofencing give you the flexibility to customize phone push notifications when a patient or visitor crosses the virtual geofence in either direction. For instance, you could send a welcome message as they arrive, provide crisis communications or a link to help navigate the hospital landscape as they enter your facilities. Share a thank you and survey or other helpful information as they exit the geofencing location while their experience is still fresh in their minds.
The hospital geofencing works when the visitor has the free Patient Concierge app on their phone and location tracking is enabled. (Nearly 90% of smartphone users keep their location services switched to 'on', per Pew Research Center.)
