About Our Client

Our client is a mid-sized healthcare organization based in Ohio, USA, offering multi-specialty outpatient services to over 20,000 active patients annually. The organization aimed to digitize and streamline patient interactions to improve service quality, reduce administrative load, and comply with HIPAA regulations.

Challenge

Before engaging with Celestial Infosoft, the client relied on fragmented communication, phone calls, paperwork, and in-person visits, resulting in long wait times, inefficient appointment scheduling, and increased no-shows. The absence of a centralized patient portal also limited follow-up care, lab result access, and patient education, ultimately affecting engagement and outcomes.

Key issues included:

  • HIPAA compliance concerns with legacy tools
  • Manual patient scheduling & high no-show rates
  • Lack of real-time communication tools
  • No online access to medical records or prescriptions
  • Increasing the admin workload on staff

Solution

Celestial Infosoft designed and developed a custom patient engagement web portal built around secure, user-friendly experiences and compliance-first architecture.

Key solution elements included:

  • Secure Patient Login using OAuth 2.0 and Two-Factor Authentication
  • Smart Appointment Booking System with calendar sync, reminders via SMS & email
  • Telehealth Module integrated using Twilio APIs for virtual consultations
  • Lab Results & Reports Access directly synced from EHR via HL7/FHIR
  • Patient-Physician Messaging within encrypted portal channels
  • Health Education Library personalized by patient condition
  • Mobile-Responsive UI/UX for seamless access across all devices

Our team collaborated closely with the client’s IT and compliance departments to ensure that every component adhered to HIPAA standards.
