SMS Appointment Reminders
Reduce Missed Appointments
The problems faced by Hospitals and GP Surgeries with missed appointments is well documented, with forgetfulness being cited as a major factor. Patients are not always as diligent as might be hoped when it comes to remembering appointments and of course a proportion will just not turn for a variety of other reasons e.g. fear, recovery in the meantime, 'something else came up' etc.
The problem isn't confined to the medical industry and affects all industries where appointments are a factor such as Hairdressers, Banks etc.
Appointment Reminders can effectively reduce the wastage caused by missed appointments, by reminding the forgetful and in pointing out to those unconcerned about missing an appointment that they have an obligation to inform.
Missed appointments cost those industries reliant on people turning up on time considerably, both in terms of lost revenue and in staff time wastage.
