Ealing Primary Care Trust goes live with SMS appointment reminders
Link: SMS Doctors Appointment Reminder Live In Ealing - Digital-Lifestyles.info
For a long time Health Authorities have been having kittens about the amount of people who miss their hospital appointments - and quite rightly, it’s a tremendous waste of resources, that are already stretched.
Well finally. Finally. Someone’s doing it…. even if it is still a trial — but at least it’s operational thanks to
…the combined power of Orange, iPLATO with their Patient Care Messaging, and Ealing Primary Care Trust
Brilliant. I’m sure it will be a wicked success.
There are plenty of companies doing this sort of thing and the technology has been around for a while, its only now hospitals are looking at using text messaging.
