medavis SMS

Missed radiology appointments are an irritation, both for staff who are forced to rearrange their schedules and for patients who have to make a new appointment, possibly even leading to a delay in medical treatment. Help is available, should the patient wish it and registers his or her mobile telephone number, through the medavis SMS service.

The patient receives a timely appointment reminder by SMS to his mobile phone, giving the date and time of the appointment, as well as the details of the clinic or hospital department. Additional information such as “please attend with an empty stomach” can be communicated at the same time. Patients can also be informed by SMS in the case of an appointment being postponed, e.g. due to maintenance work.

Easy to use
The reminder service is automatically generated by medavis RIS, so avoiding any technical or personal time and effort. With the patient’s consent, reception staff simply record the mobile phone number in medavis RIS and they can then rely on the automatic reminder function.
