AN UPPERMILL-BASED company is helping to tackle the problem of missed doctors’ appointments by using a simple reminder system.
Reminder Time has introduced their service, under the same name, which sends text or voices messages or emails to patients to inform them of upcoming clinical appointments.
The two-way system means that as well as getting to appointments on time, patients can also respond to tell practice managers what they would like to do.
By reminding patients of their appointments, Reminder Time hopes to significantly reduce the number of ‘did not attends’ (DNAs) and ensure everyone can see their GP when they need to.
And as a survey by the Royal College of General Practitioners reveals more than 34 million patients in England fail to get an appointment with their GP, Reminder Time urged practices to join their scheme.
Dr Nicola Jeffery Sykes, Managing Director, said: “We feel this is the time for more and more practices to make this step and entrust us with their patient communications.
“We will make it our ultimate goal to increase customer satisfaction using new and existing technology and exponentially grow your business.
“We can help you save both time and money compared to if you were using traditional methods of messaging, namely postal and making telephone calls.
“An added bonus to using 21st century methods of text and converted voice messaging is that no paper is used and therefore there is less of an impact on the environment.”
As well as doctors’ practices, Reminder Time offers their messaging solutions to a range of market sectors to help them save time and money as well as help customers.
Their AllTime products are already providing a success and have been integrated with major systems including Emis England, Emis Scotland, System One and Ascribe.
