Patient reminders
Patient absence due to lack of communication or forgetfulness, costs hospitals a great deal of money each year. Statistics show that in some departments up to 15% of the patients do not show up to their appointment. 30 % of them say the reason simply is that they forgot. Others say that they were not informed, that they were not sick anymore, or they had other reasons. In other words, by using an automated solution to remind patients about their appointments, hospitals can save money and use their recourses elsewhere. Several Norwegian hospitals have seen the substantial effect of using our solutions for patient reminders and have experienced a large reduction in the number of “no shows”. This has led to increased usage of the total resources and higher revenue for the department. Last but not least, the service level towards customers (patients) is higher than ever.
