Andor Health was born over 4 years ago with a single mission; to fundamentally change the way in which care teams, patients, and families connect and collaborate. By harnessing the latest innovations in OpenAI/GPT models, our cloud-based platform unlocks data stored in source systems - such as electronic medical records - to deliver real-time actionable intelligence to care teams within ubiquitous virtual collaboration platforms like Zoom. By perfecting communication workflows, our platform accelerates time to treatment, decreases clinician burnout, and drives better patient outcomes.  

Healthcare institutions and providers use ThinkAndor® to enable providers to configure patient and clinician interactions with ubiquitous team collaboration platforms. This eliminates the need to manage added applications. ThinkAndor® enables a frictionless virtual interaction allowing physicians and patients to communicate without being distracted by disjointed technologies during a virtual consultation. 

ThinkAndor is the only integrated virtual collaboration platform that can truly bring together all aspects of outpatient, inpatient, post-acute and at home virtual care collaboration through the 5 Pillars of Virtual Health: Virtual Visits, Virtual Hospital, Virtual Patient Monitoring & Care Management, Virtual Team Collaboration, and Virtual Community Collaboration. 

Features include:

  • Virtual visits launched from the EHR
  • Voice-to-text clinical notes
  • Real-time alerts and notifications
  • Secure collaboration channels
  • ThinkAndor® AI Bot provides relevant content and clinical context to visits and care teams
  • Device-agnostic virtual rounding, nursing, sitting and remote consults to power the virtual hospital
  • Remote specialty consults such as Tele Stroke, Tele Psych, and Tele ICU
  • Access to a virtual on-demand network
  • Multi-room/patient virtual sitting for a variety of risk types
  • Virtual nursing to address staffing shortages

In 2020, Microsoft M12 took an investment position in Andor Health and works very closely to optimize virtual interactions leveraging OpenAI and GPT. Since then, Andor Health has grown to serve over 70,000 providers and over 500 hospitals leveraging the Andor Health platform across the US, Canada, and UK. Orlando Health, Medical University of South Carolina, Tampa General Hospital, Yale New Haven, and the National Institutes of Health are among some of the most notable. You may find some of our most prestigious partners here, https://andorhealth.com/partners.html.

A Buyer's Guide to

Digital Front Door

What is the digital front door?
Digital front door describes a set of interactive and transaction-ready capabilities to enable digital interactions between patients and health systems throughout the care journey, from pre-service to follow-up and payment. When leveraged appropriately, a digital front door strategy can improve patient experiences, drive access, and reduce (or eliminate) reliance on paper-based workflows and manual processes.

Capability framework

Search through schedule
Provider directory and search View a consolidated list of providers, search and match with providers based on preferred criteria
Transparent information View prices, wait times, ratings, and reviews for providers and facilities
Online scheduling Directly book an appointment online without logging into a portal
Triage, navigate, and treat
Virtual triage Enter symptoms online, receive a preliminary diagnosis, and be routed to a care site
Low-acuity care navigation Receive education and instructions for low-acuity in-person or virtual care options
Virtual visits Connect with providers for synchronous or asynchronous visits
Consumer interactions
Unguided interactions View a consolidated list of providers, search and match with providers based on preferred criteria
Guided interactions View prices, wait times, ratings, and reviews for providers and facilities

The case for the digital front door

The majority of American adults-an astonishing 81.5 percent-turn to the internet for health-related information.1 But the large majority of patients don’t visit a health system website before making a healthcare decision, and often have difficulty finding and accessing appropriate convenient care options. Meanwhile, ambulatory capacity often goes unfilled, and health systems risk losing commercially insured patients and revenue to alternative online channels and disruptors.
Alignment with effective digital strategy
Health systems must go beyond doing digital-that is, offering a handful of basic digital options-and be digital in order to remain competitive against convenient direct-to-consumer services. Successful long-term digital strategy requires digital front door capabilities that meet patients where they are when they begin searching for care and guide them through the entire care journey.
Better outcomes and improved patient satisfaction
A consumer-centric healthcare experience-which necessarily includes an effective digital front door strategy-bolsters trust in health systems, drives accessibility, and decreases the likelihood that patients will defer care.2 Patients who defer care are more likely to report to emergency rooms and urgent care clinics, and more than a third of patients who defer care make five or more urgent care or ED visits per year.
Direct return on investment
Consumers increasingly value convenience and cost transparency when researching care options, and are more likely to select providers with greater appointment availability and online scheduling.3 Flexible self-service options, like insurance verification and appointment check-in, continue to drive patient satisfaction throughout the care journey and motivate patients to return.

What leading digital front door solutions offer

Search through schedule
Provider directory and search Synchronizes with multiple data sources to provide up-to-date provider listings without duplication across sources. Search function should automatically complete terms and returns for mistyped words.
Transparent information Provider reviews from multiple sources with reviews management capabilities, customizable star rating calculations, and analytics to glean insights about potential patient experience improvements.
Online scheduling Multi-lingual and consumer-friendly, with scheduling enabled directly from provider pages and new patient scheduling options that do not require logging into a portal. EHR-agnostic to create a consistent consumer experience, and call center-enabled.
Triage, navigate, and treat
Virtual triage Enter symptoms online, receive a preliminary diagnosis, and be routed to a care site
Low-acuity care navigation Receive education and instructions for low-acuity in-person or virtual care options
Virtual visits Connect with providers for synchronous or asynchronous visits
Consumer interactions
Unguided interactions Engage in self-directed interactions via portal-based or enterprise mobile apps
Guided interactions Engage in guided navigation through a series of bi-directional automated or live interactions via text or chat

Google is the first stop for the majority of adults when they have questions about their health or need to find care. Health systems have an opportunity to show up at that exact moment and engage consumers with a powerful digital experience and convenient care options on demand.

Starting the digital front door journey

An effective digital front door strategy amounts to more than just a set of digital applications–it’s a way to engage with patients from their very first search engine query and provide convenient, cost-effective, personalized care. Success depends on health systems articulating clear priorities for these crucial first steps and an enterprise-level commitment to meaningful digital transformation.
  1. Pulse check. Consult with key stakeholders across the health system to understand the existing state of digital front door capabilities, solicit feedback about priority areas, and ensure that senior leadership, clinician, and staff are aligned.
  2. High-level tech inventory and capability assessment. Upgrade or consolidate technical infrastructure and hardware as needed.
  3. Opportunity analysis and third party recommendations. Identify highest priority opportunities and potential use cases, and seek unbiased third-party information about available solutions and tailored recommendations for your organization.
