Who likes putting their personal details every time they login to their social media account? No ONE

The same concept is very true for your patients who just want to re-book an appointment with you. With the traditional way of re-booking, your patients have to go through the same old questions they need to input everytime they want to see you. While there might be patients whose patience are longer than Nile River, we can't avoid the ones that aren't. Most of these patients are our dear elderly ones.

Hyper Recall - SMS  will save you from the horror of losing a potential re-booker. With this feature, patients will only need to select the Appointment Time. BAM! Appointment is booked. You can use this for the following automations:

  1. Cancellation rebooker:
    Send a message to those who have cancelled their appointment and have not re-booked yet along with a soft reminder about your cancellation fees etc. The simplicity of just clicking a link and booking, will make your messages more successful.

  2. DNA rebooker:
    How frustrating it is to have a no-show?! Worst when you will never hear back from that patient again. Use the Hyper-recall sms to get those patients book another appointment. Because they don’t need to fill heaps of information when clicking on the link, your success rate to get those patients back in your clinic will be higher.

  3. Reactivation 3-6 mos., 6-12 mos. & 12 mos. onwards:
    When you are sending a message to your patient for recalling them, you are already using their First and Last name and some other information. It is a much better patient experience if you don’t ask the same questions again when they want to book an appointment. Less clicks and less form filling also increases your re-booking rate.

IMPORTANT REMINDER:

FOR CLINIKO clients you need to set your practitioner's API Key. This is step is a must otherwise you won't be able to set your practitioners for your Hyper-Recall sms. You can follow the guide HERE.
