SMS & Mobile solutions for healthcare

Patient appointment reminders & staff alerts

Healthcare facilities, such as the EHS, are becoming faced with an increasing amount of challenges, from managing staff and patients through to demanding budget restraints and communication shouldn’t be one of them. By integrating SMS into your communications strategy you can make significant cost savings, reduce the cost of missed appointments, gain outpatient feedback and more.

Esendex can help. 
Using text messaging allows you to automate communication with patients, streamline messaging among staff, and simplify administration duties. Statistically, text reminders can reduce the number of no-shows in the medical arena. Voice messages, Email to SMS and surveys can also be used in addition to SMS to create a low-touch, high response communications strategy.

SMS Appointment Reminders

Did Not Attends cost the health industry millions every day. There’s documented evidence that SMS can reduce DNAs by almost 25%

Shift Management

Relying on telephone calls as your prime communication method among staff relies on two members being free at any one time.  Using SMS invites recipients to respond at more convenient times. It’s efficient, effective and inexpensive.

Information & Alerts

Inviting patients into your surgery or practice for prescriptions, test results, encouraging blood donations, providing healthcare tips and advising staff of any changes can all be done by SMS.
