    LAS VEGAS, NV, December 12, 2020 /24-7PressRelease/ -- nuiloa (pronounced noo-ee loh-wah), a patient-centric conversation platform created for hospitals and clinics, is now easier to access than ever before. Epic Systems, one of the leading healthcare software companies in the US with the most widely-used and comprehensive health records system, has made nuiloa's two-way SMS service and web app service available on their "App Orchard" marketplace for easy implementation. nuiloa is the only real-time communication solution available on the Epic App Orchard that can connect patients to care.

"Through our long history with Epic we've built and implemented integration projects in hospitals across the US. We're excited to extend this partnership to include nuiloa in the App Orchard. This will allow us to provide an improved, reliable, and integrated experience for patients and healthcare providers within Epic workflows," explains Chris Halsema, nuiloa founder and CEO of NexPlex.

nuiloa helps patients connect to their healthcare providers with texting and voice automation. By elevating the patient engagement experience, nuiloa users improve efficiency in patient and admin workflow.

With nuiloa, hospitals and clinics are able to:

1. Streamline pre-visit communications: automate medical appointment reminders, scheduling, and follow-ups

This higher level of engagement results in improved patient retention, satisfaction and adherence to care.

Not only do these individuals feel more heard, but they are able to make better healthcare-related decisions.
