limit waiting times and reduce the number of 'no-shows' via SMS communication
SMS services for health care
When waiting rooms are overcrowded, you want to be sure that your time is spent as efficiently as possible. This means that you want to be the first to avoid no-shows. With an SMS message prior to the appointment you can remind the patient of his appointment and thus drastically reduce the number of patients that do not show up or do not show up correctly. In addition, you can mention here again what time the appointment is exactly and any Covid19 guidelines give, so that there is no ambiguity about this can arise.
For example:
It is still common that patients do not soberly report for an examination or surgery, so that the appointment must be postponed. The consequences of this are similar to those of the no show problem: high costs and a longer waiting list
