The app can now provide estimated arrival times within an hour for patients, according to the company. These schedule alerts can allow a practice to anticipate possible scheduling changes and manage clinical needs.

In addition, practices can now send HIPAA-compliant videos, pictures, and text messages to patients; check practice and clinical data; compare their performance to other practices in the U.S.; and run marketing campaigns.

The Practice Mobilizer app is available for free for Apple and Android smartphones. The app connects to most practice management systems and is compliant with HIPAA and the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act, according to Sikka.
