For a medical practitioner, there can be nothing as frustrating as a missed appointment. Such no-shows might seem normal. However, they not only cost precious medical practice time, but also severely impact a patient’s treatment continuity.
Notifying patients of their scheduled appointment times well in advance, is essential to ensure your medical practice functions smoothly. No-shows or people running late causes a disruption in the services and prevents the doctor from extending adequate time and care to other patients.
That’s why it’s important to have an advanced appointment reminder system in place to reduce no-shows. Fortunately, in this age of technology, you can integrate the use of an automated appointment service to streamline this entire process. Moreover, your staff can be relieved from the time-consuming task of making phone calls to remind patients of their scheduled appointments.
