Two-way Messaging

If a patient asks you a question on Facebook, do you reply? How about your Google Business page? Chat? Can a prospective patient send you a text message? With Front Office Helper™, all those conversations are organized in one simple place, and your team can reply to them on the channel they started on.

Chat to SMS Widget

Many patients prefer to send an SMS message over filling out a form or calling your office. We install an elegant Chat-to-SMS widget on your website so patients can communicate how they already do – using their mobile device! (You can see it running on our website in the bottom corner).

I love working with the people at this company! They are thoughtful, have excellent follow up, are down to earth and get at the heart of the matter. They are a well organized team and go over and above to make things happen. We are using their CRM, Front Office Helper, and it has allowed us to really capture all our lead data and stay organized – much easier to use and more intuitive than what we had before. Highly recommend!

Front Office Helper CRM FAQs

Is Front Office Helper a HIPAA-compliant CRM?

Yes, Front Office Helper™ is RUNNER’s HIPAA-compliant CRM, built specifically for medical practices and their front offices, and RUNNER signs a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) with all medical clients. Paired with a Practice Right Website™, it also keeps your website forms secure for collecting and storing prospective patient information and PHI. RUNNER maintains the platform for you, so your team gets compliant lead management without having to manage the software.

What's the best CRM for a medical practice?

The best CRM for a medical practice is one your front office will actually use and that shows which leads become patients. RUNNER built Front Office Helper around that: two-way messaging across Facebook, live chat, email and text messages in one place, secure forms, pipeline tracking and automated follow-up. It has unlimited contacts and users, so you aren’t paying more every time you add staff or grow.

Why are we losing leads at the front desk?

Most practices lose leads because inquiries scatter across phones, forms, Facebook, Google Business chats, and texts, and some never get a reply. RUNNER’s Front Office Helper puts every conversation in one place and tracks each patient through pipeline stages, so you can see exactly where opportunities slip away and fix it before another lead goes to a competitor.

Can Front Office Helper show which marketing brought in each patient?

Yes, Front Office Helper + RUNNER  marketing services means you get attribution tracking “out of the box” for your medical practice, connecting each lead to the marketing source that produced it and following it through your pipeline to a booked visit. That’s how we report on patients instead of clicks. You’ll know which ads, searches and campaigns are filling your schedule, and where your budget should go next.

Does Front Office Helper replace or integrate with our EHR?

Front Office Helper doesn’t replace your EHR; it’s a CRM that covers all the touchpoints up to the point a prospect becomes a patient, then that contact is handed off to the EHR system. Front Office Helper handles patient acquisition, from the first inquiry to the booked appointment, not clinical records. RUNNER works alongside any EHR or EMR your practice already uses. Think of it this way: your EHR manages patient care once someone is on the schedule, and Front Office Helper manages everything before that.

Can we keep our current CRM and still work with RUNNER?

Yes, RUNNER will work with your existing CRM, so you don’t have to rip out a system your front office already knows just to start marketing with us. That said, the Practice Marketing Method works best and fastest with Front Office Helper because it was custom-built by us for medical front offices and includes attribution tracking out of the box. Many general CRMs need extra setup, add-ons or workarounds to show which marketing produced a patient. Your Marketing Roadmap will weigh both options for your practice.

Who owns our patient lead data if we stop working with RUNNER?

Your practice owns its patient lead data. Once all services have been paid for, your lead data, website, ad accounts and content belong to you, not RUNNER, even if you decide to move on. RUNNER doesn’t hold your leads hostage to keep your business. We’d rather earn it by showing every month how Front Office Helper helps your team turn more inquiries into new patients.
