How to Use the Digital Solution
SimplyCast foresaw the need for a better communication method for medical appointment reminders. It is important to keep patients reminded of their upcoming appointments, as life can get busy and it is easy to forget.
Healthcare organizations want to ensure that their patients receive the care they need. They also want to reducing the manual work for their administrative staff. This solution benefits everyone involved, and only requires a few brief steps.
Step 1- Patient
In order for the reminder process to begin, patients need to book their appointments. If this is done online, a digital form can be used to collect any necessary information. This helps keep things simple and organized for both the patient and the staff.
Step 2- Administration
Confirmation messages will be automatically sent out to patients after the appointment is booked. This will use information that is stored in the centralized database to create personalized messages.
Step 3- Administration
The next step is to send out reminders in the days prior to the appointment. These will be personalized reminders that included such as a greeting, the date and time of appointment, and a policy regarding cancellation or rescheduling.
Step 4- Administration
The final step of the process is for administration to review their report. The system will collect data from messages as they are sent out, and allow staff to analyze and see how each notification was engaged with. By studying the interaction data from the reports, clinics can improve efficiency and spend more time on patient care. They can generally bolster healthcare systems in a way that improves the patient experience and reduces errors.
