Missed medical appointments or “no-shows” cost hospitals millions and prevent service

Posted on 13:09 by Unknown

These two articles explain the problems healthcare organizations have with medial “no-show” appointments and the negative impact they have on a healthcare organization’s ability to provide quality service and the financial ramifications. “No-shows” are confirmed medical appointments where the patient fails to show up and doesn't contact the provider to alert them or reschedule. “No-show” rates in the US range from 5%-35% and are based on region and type of appointment. 

Medical appointment no-shows prevent service

Missed medical appointments costs hospital million

One of the tools Amtelco-1Call has developed to help deal with medical “no-show” appointments is the ProShow Automated Appointment Reminder system  Pro Show will notify patients as many times as needed, by a variety of methods including phone call, e-mail, pager, or mobile phone messaging (SMS). A combination of notification methods can be used to contact a single patient about an appointment.For additional information visit ProShow Automated Appointment Reminder
