What benefits to sending Doctor SMS?
- an appointment reminder via an ultra simple SMS: you address to your patient a few hours before his consultation, an SMS indicating the name of the practitioner, the date, the time of the appointment and the number to be addressed in case of withdrawal. Your patient will read this message as soon as it is available without you needing to contact him!
- a medical secretarial work facilitated: with the use of an appointment-making software with which we have established a partnership (see below), the sending of the appointment reminder is sent automatically and without any manipulation to the (x) Time (s) defined when making an appointment (e.g. 48h or 72h before consultation).
- an option to request confirmation by SMS return can be activated: your patient is asked to confirm his presence because he is invited to send you an SMS of reply that you will receive directly on your SMS client account. Changes and cancellations of last minute appointments will be easier to take into account and thus you can release the time ranges of consultations and then assign them to appointments of more urgent medical pathology.
- advanced applications for the health sector: An SMS message can be used to send the Patient a protocol to follow before an intervention or consultation (be fast, take his medication, bring back his radios, etc.) or a reminder of Treatment follow-up (vaccine, medication taking or consultation at regular intervals) directly on his mobile phone and in real time.
