Streamline client communication, secure your care

Two routing modes: Teams channels for shared coverage, or Care View for direct care team delivery.

HIPAA‑Compliant Messaging

Keep PHI out of personal devices. All SMS conversations live inside secure Microsoft Teams channels.

Team‑Based Collaboration

Move from one‑to‑one texting to shared channels where the full care team can respond in real time.

Direct SMS from Teams

Send and receive texts without leaving Teams. Replies thread neatly next to the client record.

Centralized Records

All conversations are captured in one place for visibility, continuity, and audit readiness.

Care View: Direct routing to care providers

In addition to Teams channel routing, Care View sends SMS directly to the assigned care team member for personalized, one‑to‑one client communication.

Care View Interface

Personal Message Routing

Messages route directly to care team members based on client and episode assignments, ensuring the right provider sees each message.

Dedicated Teams Tab

Access a dedicated Care View tab in Teams to see your assigned clients with pending messages and manage conversations in one place.

Message Tracking & Replies

Track read/unread status and reply directly from Care View, with real‑time updates via SignalR for immediate notification.

Use Case: When configuring phone number mapping rules, choose Care View routing to send messages to assigned care providers rather than shared Teams channels—perfect for case management and personalized care coordination.

Routing & automations

Intelligent, rules‑based logic keeps messages flowing to the right team, at the right time.

Rules‑Based Routing

Messages are delivered to the correct Teams channel using the client’s phone number.

Channel Forwarding

After‑hours or limited availability? Forward to an alternate 24/7 channel automatically.

Auto‑Replies

Send tailored responses that set expectations and guide clients to business‑hours engagement.

Example: Messages received after 5 PM automatically forward to your 24/7 on‑call channel, or an auto‑reply can let clients know when the team will respond.
