Appointment Reminders

Spend less time chasing down confirmations by setting up automatic appointment reminders for your patients. You can send advance email reminders, text alerts, or even an automated voice call to cut down on no-shows and forgotten appointments.

Recall & Check-Up Reminders

Increase the number of patients you bring back time and again by automating your recall and check-up reminders. Save time by setting up a schedule for when to send out recall emails and notifications so you’re not overwhelmed by all the scheduling.

Patient Surveys

Gathering patient feedback about the quality of service you’re providing, and showing patients you care about giving them a great experience goes a long way in attracting new patients, and keeping the ones you have. Setting up an automated system of sending and collecting patient surveys allows you to constantly gather data about your practice without worrying about this practice slipping through the cracks on busy days. 

Birthday Greetings & Special Offers

Sending birthday messages to your patients, or sending an exclusive offer to long-time patients is a proven way to retain lifetime patients, and promote practice advocates and referrals. Sending cards in the mail is costly and time-consuming, so why not automate this process and/or send email greetings to your patient base?

Requests for Online Reviews

These days, your online reputation is so important in attracting new patients, and establishing your practice as reputable online. That’s why the more online reviews you have from patients, the better. But we know that sometimes asking for those reviews, and following up with patients, can take up a lot of time. So why not automate your request for online reviews, so that a friendly email request is sent to all your patients shortly after they finish their appointments, asking for their review. Then you can quickly review and post these on the most popular social media sites; saving you time and the headache of sorting through various sites, and reposting.

These are our top 5 healthcare automation processes, but there are so many that we didn’t mention as well. With so many choices to help you better leverage your time and schedule, there’s no reason your should be sacrificing productivity in your practice.
