/ The challenge

Where they started

MedCare's 12 clinics were using paper intake forms and a scheduling system from 2018. Patients waited 45 minutes on average, no-show rates were at 22%, and HIPAA compliance was a manual nightmare.

/ The solution

What we built

We deployed Cortex as a private tenant with a patient portal, automated appointment reminders via SMS, and integrated telehealth. Full HIPAA compliance with audit trails on every record access.

Patient satisfaction
The platform paid for itself in reduced no-shows alone. But the real win is patient satisfaction — we went from 3.2 to 4.8 stars in six months.
