Forest Lane Pediatrics, an 18-provider pediatric practice spanning three locations across the Dallas, Texas, metropolitan area, serves over 25,000 patients. The practice was using disparate patient communication tools including a patient portal, phone calls, voicemails and other software, which led to staff inefficiencies. With the help of Klara, the nursing staff now saves hours each day¹ by consolidating all patient outreach into one, simplified channel.
