How can a clinic and nursing homes use bulk SMS services to the fullest?

Summary:  We can see that this tool is helpful for hospitals, clinics and nursing homes. This tool easily manages work, schedules pre-work as well as handles clients with ease to run your clinic successfully.

Last time I went to an orthopedic clinic to get an appointment, I was informed of an appointment can be fixed only through a likely phone number. And I realized that it was a long code service number, used to fix appointments in various time slots. And the next day I saw, many patients were lined up at the clinic but with appointments! So, I realized an SMS is a life saviour in today’s’ times like post-pandemic where you need to maintain a social distance of 1 meter at all costs!

 

Do SMS services make life easier at clinics?

We all see that major hospitals, use bulk SMS services whenever they think of setting up blood camps! However, these kinds of camps require lots of finance to set up. The question is if a small orthopaedic clinic from Jharkhand is using SMS to fix appointments, can a clinic with minimum equipment can use SMS to redirect sales and internal communication?

 

 Let us see how:

1. On the same Page:  Many doctors are running private clinics instead of visiting the hospitals. And they are pretty good at it by informing all staff, nurses and patients through bulk SMS. Most clinics and nursing homes are extensively using this tool to the fullest, as emergency cases, organ transplantation, abortions, deliveries need immediate attention and what better tool to use in this hour of emergencies?
2. Payment Reminders: This is exclusively helpful for a patient if he is using the treatment for prolonged illness. .Like insurance policies, people are reminded to pay the premiums. Dentists can easily send advance reminders before cosmetic surgery. This part is exclusively handy if the patient is willing to pay in instalments.
3. Health Awareness: Dental check-up every 3 months is recommended. But if you want to arrange one, maybe at your clinic with proper sanitization, you need to spread the word through SMS services, and the best way to do it! It is safe, fool-proof, effective, clean and without spam!!
