Feature Spotlight: Patient-Directed Follow-Up

January 9, 2025

Imagine cutting your follow-up administrative time in half while improving patient care, upholding best practices, and ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements. That’s exactly what MAPflow’s new Patient-Directed Follow-Up feature delivers. This breakthrough innovation is transforming how pharmacies deliver clinical services — and your pharmacy could be next.

 

How it Works

Patient-directed follow-up enables your team to send automatic emails prompting patients to begin the follow-up process, saving a significant amount of admin time on phone calls and individual e-mails. This supports patients in staying on track with their treatments, while feeling supported and empowered every step of the way.
