Patient Texting: The Portal to Effective Communication

by Ramon M. Marketing Expert!

Text messaging is one of the fastest ways of communication these days. It reduces the time it takes to get a message across and prevents the initiation of any miscommunication. It is also one of the best ways to communicate with many receivers all at the same time. Saving time of both the receiver and the sender, this means of communication is fast becoming the norm in the medical world.

One of the best utilities of texting in the medical world is that it has brought with it the simplification that was clearly missing in the pager-call-back system used by hospitals for many years. Ancillary Medical provides you with the opportunity to take full advantage of patient texting to increase the efficiency and the revenue of your practice.

What are the ancillary benefits of patient- physician texting?

In a recent study conducted by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, an estimated 60 minutes are wasted by nurses every day in ordered to track a physician. These unnecessary delays result in waste of time and increased labor costs all of which can be utilized to serve suffering patients well.

Ancillary solutions such as text message communication reduce the amount of time it takes to check for your availability for your patients. This makes it possible for you to manage your time efficiently and to ensure that not a single patient goes home unattended.

Patients also trust this new avenue of physician patient communication. This is so because of the introduction of HIPAA complaint SMS messaging services. With secure policies and rules of HIPAA compliance, patients have the comfort of knowing that their confidential information stays between you and them.

Not only does this increase the level of trust a patient has in you, it also keeps him loyal to your service. This loyalty acts as a symbiotic relationship where the patient does not have to keep changing clinics and you can be sure of constant working capital to increase the scope of your practice. This system has also resulted in the prevention of sending the text message to the wrong person. With updated address books and backed up data to work with, you can have the peace of mind that you are sending relevant information to a specific person. This is a sure way of making sure that you do not end up with any unnecessary confusion which may lead to reputational damage.

Perhaps the biggest advantage of these patient communication tools is that they give a boost to the revenue of your practice. The doctor text message is the best way to make sure you are available for all appointments and there are no cancellations. This also adds up to the reliability and credibility of your services. It is well-known that patients recommend their trusted physicians to family and friends. So, your practice can benefit from text communication in moiré ways than one.
