# Patient engagement on the same record as care.

**CurerTech's CRM (patient engagement)** — keeps patients connected to care — appointment reminders, two-way messaging, a patient portal, and outreach — all on the same record as the chart and billing. For behavioral health and addiction programs, that means fewer no-shows, an easier first visit, and patients who stay in treatment longer.

Inside CRM

## What's in CurerTech CRM?

The patient relationship, before, between, and after visits — in the same record as the chart.

### Appointment reminders

Verify coverage and benefits before the visit, so claims start clean instead of bouncing later.

### Patient portal

Forms, secure messaging, and records access in one place patients actually use.

### Two-way messaging

Secure messages between visits, kept in the same record as the chart.

### Outreach & retention

Reach patients who lapse and bring them back — in behavioral health, retention is care.

Why it matters

## Why does engagement belong in the EMR?

When outreach draws on the chart, every reminder and message reflects the patient's actual care.

**Fewer no-shows**

### More kept appointments

Automated reminders and easy rescheduling recover visits that would otherwise be lost.

**Smoother start**

### An easier first visit

Digital forms and a clear portal make the first appointment less of a hurdle to keep.

**Retention is care**

### Patients who stay in care

Outreach and messaging keep patients connected between visits, when dropout risk is highest.

No-show rates in behavioral health run 20–30%, and in substance use disorder (SUD) programs can reach 30–50% — lost visits that engagement is designed to recover. (Industry analyses, 2024.)

One record

## How does CRM connect to the rest of the platform?

The chart isn't an island. What's documented in the EMR flows into the rest of the platform.

**EMR**

### Billing on the clinical record

Reminders and messages draw on the chart, so outreach reflects each patient's actual care.

**RCM**

### Engagement that supports collections

Fewer no-shows and easier patient payments keep cash moving alongside billing.

CRM questions

## The CRM, answered

### What is the CRM in CurerTech?

CRM (patient engagement) is the patient-relationship side of the platform — appointment reminders, two-way messaging, a patient portal, and outreach — on the same record as the chart and billing.

### Does it include a patient portal?

Yes. The patient portal gives patients forms, secure messaging, and records access in one place, connected to the same record clinicians and billing use.

### Can it help reduce no-shows?

Yes. Automated SMS and email reminders, easy rescheduling, and recall outreach are designed to recover appointments that would otherwise be missed.

### Is patient messaging secure?

Messaging is built for U.S. healthcare clinics with HIPAA alignment and behavioral-health confidentiality in mind. See Security & HIPAA for details.

### How does engagement connect to billing and the chart?

CRM shares one record with the EMR and RCM, so reminders reflect real appointments and patient outreach supports collections without a separate system.
