Text Messaging for Health & Fitness

Health & Fitness establishments like clinics, hospitals, polyclinics can streamline their operation, and improve customer service through the use of SMS in everyday running of their establishment.

How Can SMS Marketing Be Utilized

Clinics and hospitals will be able to utilize SMS for patients by sending a SMS reminder, which lets them have the option reply with a number to confirm, cancel or rearrange their appointments. Few days before the appointment another SMS reminder can be sent for appointment compliance, informing if they should be fasting, or what food to avoid beforehand.

Patients no longer need to just sit and wait for the queue number to appear. They can text in their queue number, for example HOSP0808 to the provided shortcode, where will receive an SMS notifying them on the number of patients scheduled before them and the waiting time.

Benefits for Pharmacies, Clinics and Hospitals

Benefits for utilizing SMS will typically be maximised when SMS is integrated with in-house pharmacy systems, removing the need to work with dual systems, and synchronizing the flow. For clinics and hospitals, SMS reminders for patients on their next appointment will reduce the number of no-shows.
