Sie haben mit der No-Show-Rate von Patienten zu kämpfen. Wie kann man Technologie nutzen, um das Blatt zu wenden?

First, get an automated reminder dashboard set up. It will involve customers' birthday reminders/text messages, emails, etc, that could remind customers ahead of schedules. Use the process or system to set up meetings and visitations to increase efficiency and ask for a return visit. Make automation possible for customers to be able to respond stating the opinion and express themselves.

I recall a particular case in our practice where a patient frequently missed appointments, causing considerable scheduling disruptions. After we introduced an online scheduling system, this patient found it much easier to manage and keep track of appointments, resulting in a drastic reduction in their no-show rate. Automated reminders via email or SMS ensure that patients are reminded of their upcoming appointments, reducing forgetfulness. The flexibility of 24/7 access allows patients to reschedule or cancel appointments easily, minimizing last-minute no-shows. Overall, online scheduling enhances the patient experience and operational efficiency, leading to improved appointment adherence.

This gives customers and potential customers the feeling of belongingness. Customers are afforded the luxury of booking their appointments considering their schedule. With this technology acting optimally, a no-show occurrence is reduced as the schedule is according to customers' timing and availability. However, the use of open slots for technology should be highly avoided by the organization as this is viewed as subjecting a customer to the timing of the organization rather than his own. There should be a reminder not created in line with the online scheduling, at least 5 minutes before the time, to bring the customer's consciousness to the appointment.

With Generative AIs in vogue now, it is possible to generate and analyze data for all schedules, visitations, and calls. This will help provide information on visitations and no-shows patterns. It will provide an opportunity/avenue to understand the possible reasons for a non-show to the organization and the history of the existence of such. This will involve performing a trend analysis on the data with a definitive plan to reduce the reoccurrences.

Attending to patients virtually is becoming a welcomed practice, in particular, in the hospitality industry, helping to accommodate all patients and reducing the implications of a"no-show". However, caution should be very much exercised in using this form of medical practice, particularly for patients with proven health history. While this may reduce no-shows, the resultant impact may be huge on huge when a wrong application or prescription is applied. The system, however, reduces transportation and other costs associated with meeting up with appointments. Experience personnel should be handy for telehealth services and visitation where required.

Technology provides a simple medium to aid patients' engagement in practice management. With technology, the likelihood of a no-show is reduced, while there is a high tendency of engagement to healthcare services. Health education resources, medical experts engagement, etc are made possible via various apps that advance technological engagement in the field of medicine. However, commitment to the use of the apps/technology should be encouraged to help reduce emergency scenarios. When in doubt of the applicability, patients are encourage to visit their doctors immediately
