What part of running your clinic do you dislike the most?

Missed Appointments?

Negative feedback can improve clinic profitability.
It’s all in how you respond.

Negative feedback, while disheartening, can lead to positive changes and increased profitability. Patient feedback which offers construction criticism can be turned into actionable changes that patients want to see. Ratings and review management is another seamlessly integrated feature of MDSalesbook. By automatically sending out your own feedback survey quickly after an appointment, you have the opportunity to catch problems and negative experiences before clients go online and post their own review to more public sites, which can seriously damage your clinic’s reputation.

The CDC has reported that demand for the flu shot is very high this year. Missed appointments will cost you staff time, clinic profitability and may endanger patients who have to wait for an appointment for their vaccination.

With MDSalesbook, you can set up automated appointment reminders. Appointment reminders have been proven to reduce missed appointments by as much as 55%!

Cause and effect, it’s what medicine is all about. You prescribe a course of action and you monitor the effect it has on your patient.

So why isn’t your clinic’s software doing the same thing? Your appointment reminder program should show you an improvement in your time management. Your time management software should show you an improvement in your earnings. With MDSalesbook, your patient management, time management, billings and account software are all in the same software package allowing you to carefully monitor cause and effect.

Why online appointment scheduler is important for medical clinics?

Without a sense of organization, it becomes difficult for your medical clinic to handle the demands of hundreds of patient's appointments. Even if your patients see your clinic as a walk-in office, chances are you still need to schedule follow-up visits and regular check-ups. An online scheduler is a necessity for your medical facility, regardless of its size or services rendered. It can help you better organize your patient appointment schedules, among many other benefits, some of which include

Without a sense of organization, it becomes difficult for your medical clinic to handle the demands of hundreds of patient's appointments. Even if your patients see your clinic as a walk-in office, chances are you still need to schedule follow-up visits and regular check-ups.

An online scheduler is a necessity for your medical facility, regardless of its size or services rendered. It can help you better organize your patient appointment schedules, among many other benefits, some of which include:

 Fill Appointments At Any Time

Your online scheduler will ensure that you never miss an appointment, even when your staff is on break, at nights, or during the weekends. It provides round-the-clock access to your clients, which, in turn, helps them make appointments at their own time and comfort.

 Increase in Revenue

Every open appointment is a potential loss in revenue. These costs are even higher if you have to consider the number of calls or emails your staff has to deal with before scheduling appointments. An online scheduler is a right way to fill those open slots in your calendar without increasing your costs, thereby maximizing your revenue.

 Improve Patient Satisfaction

Two of the most prevalent complaints patients make about their medical facility are the long wait times on the phone and the amount of time they must endure to make appointments. You can improve your patient's experience by using an online scheduling tool. As we said earlier, your clients can make their appointments anytime they want, even in the comfort of their homes, which helps make the best impression for your facility.

Nevertheless, not all appointment schedulers are the same. Many online schedulers out there, do not validate user's information. This is a huge flaw, which also presents the opportunity for sales agents who want to get the attention of your practice manager to make fake appointments with the scheduler. Therefore, you must be careful about the online scheduler you choose for your facility to maximize your benefits and avoid the pitfalls we mentioned.

At MDSalesBook, we provide an automated chatbot that efficiently handles your patient's appointment on your behalf. It can help you manage appointment schedules, send appointment reminders, and automatically notify your patients of schedule changes. Even more, our automated chatbot can validate the user's phone number before showing the appointment schedule. That way, you can fill your appointments with authentic prospects, reduce wait times, improve patient satisfaction, and boost your revenue.
