APPT REMINDERS & DNA

AutoMed has a comprehensive internal opt-out system in accordance with communication guidelines; due the nature of the relationship between practice and patient, patients are inferred to be opted in until they opt out so long as they are aware of how to opt out.
When onboarding AutoMed services, a SMS campaign can be utilised to inform your active patient base on how to opt out; campaigns of this nature generally reduce opt outs to between 1 and 2%.
Certain patient replies will automatically opt the number out of all AMS Messaging, the practice can then opt patients back into individual services according to their internal policies and patient preferences.
AMS appointment reminders are configured per appointment type, for example you can set a Podiatry appointment to send 5 days in advance, with a note about cancellation instructions and fees specific to your podiatrist.
