Case Study: Patient Digital Experience with an API-First Omnichannel Platform

Introduction

A multi-site outpatient clinic network in the United States sought to transform how its patients schedule appointments, view test results, make payments, and communicate with the clinical team.

The organization relied on a legacy portal provided by its electronic health record (EHR) vendor; it lacked a native mobile app, and the telephone served as the primary channel for scheduling appointments.

Any improvement to the patient experience depended on the EHR vendor's roadmap, causing digital initiatives to stall for months.

To address this challenge, the institution partnered with Rootstack to design and implement an API-first digital patient platform—decoupled from the EHR and built for continuous evolution.
