Dental surgeries can save thousands of pounds a year with text messaging, a cost-effective method of contacting patients that is much cheaper than phone calls and postal reminders, according to PracticeWorks.
R4 version 3 has a powerful text-messaging facility that lets you send out affordable reminders to patients, and amends the online appointment book accordingly when the patients send their replies – cutting down on missed appointments.
Benefits of the Managed Service include off-site hosting (no more installation updates), automatic data back up and encryption, and more.
