Open Messaging: Connect Patients, Providers, and Care Teams

Communication in healthcare happens across many touchpoints — patients asking questions, providers coordinating care, and staff managing operational workflows. Alehra’s Secure Messaging and Open Messaging Channel (OMC) allows patients, providers, and practice staff to communicate within a single secure platform. Patients can reach out to providers before scheduling appointments, ask questions about services, and start consultations. Meanwhile, care teams can coordinate internally and communicate with patients without leaving the system.

Ask questions. Coordinate care. Start conversation

Open Messaging Channel (OMC)

Alehra enables patients to initiate secure conversations with providers without requiring a scheduled appointment.
Patients can ask questions, request consultations, or seek clarification about services before booking a visit.

Provider Directory with Direct Messaging

Patients can browse available providers within the practice and start a conversation directly with the clinician of their choice. This allows patients to learn more about providers and begin care discussions before scheduling.

Service-Based Consultation Messaging

Patients can also start conversations based on services offered by the practice. This helps patients determine whether a service is appropriate before booking an appointment.

Internal Care Team Messaging

Alehra messaging is also used internally by the practice team. Staff members such as providers, schedulers, and billing teams can start conversations with each other to coordinate patient care and operational tasks.

Clinical Inquiry Messaging

Providers and staff can also initiate conversations directly with patients to ask follow-up questions, clarify clinical information, or provide updates. These conversations may be tied to the patient’s chart and clinical communication history.

Alehra provides a unified messaging interface that allows both patients and staff to communicate securely without leaving the platform.
