Automatic Medical Receptionist Helps Small Medical Clinics
In order to help small medical offices streamline their daily work flow
, we have presented the virtual medical receptionist and its many features which have been specifically designed and tested to make every medical office more interactive and highly efficient.One thing we can say for sure about the virtual receptionist system is that it not only offloads the burden of repetitive tasks from the shoulders of the human medical receptionist, but it also makes patients involved in and closer to the medical clinic, because it allows them to sign-up and schedule appointments over the web.
Also, each patient will know that he is taken care of by the medical clinic thanks to the automated appointment reminders that he will receive as the date of his appointment nears.
Still, patient no-shows and automated appointment scheduling are a couple of issues that affect both big medical clinics and small ones as well. Actually the automated medical receptionist has not been developed for a specific type of medical practice, but instead it can help all those who want to create a more efficient work place.
Every medical office be it a big medical clinic or a small solo practice has patients who must be seen, treated and cured. Offering these patients extra services like email and SMS reminders, automated reminder calls, online scheduling and custom web forms will only make patients feel that the medical clinic cares about them. At the same time these extra services will simplify the doctor's life.
Many small medical practices, in fact, don't have a human receptionist. So it is the doctor who has to welcome patients, handle patient complaints, send appointment reminders and so on. Basically the doctor in these practices performs both medical and secretarial tasks.
Now, we would like you to think of the medical receptionist system as a tremendously professional and efficient medical office assistant, who can speak more languages, save your data, call and text your patients, send them appointment reminders and even takes care of appointment scheduling.
How much are you prepared to pay for such a medical receptionist? Most people wouldn't mind paying all that it takes. However the automated medical receptionist actually comes at a very modest monthly price. It never makes the common human mistakes that happen when one is overstressed. The automated receptionist never forgets to write down an appointment. It never deletes files by a mistake, it does not lose important documents and always remembers to remind patients of their appointments.
What is even better about the virtual medical receptionist is that is suitable for any type of medical practice, because it alone can perform the same work as several human receptionist together do. And it is more efficient in doing this. Now, many people would object that something virtual will never replace a real human receptionist and we absolutely agree with that point. The virtual medical receptionist just "helps" and improves doctors' (and receptionists') work. It allows humans to dedicate most of their time to patients and not to waste time making repetitive phone calls and backing up data.
And for those of you who run small medical practices, the virtual medical receptionist will certainly you throughout your growth, while allowing you to focus on your patients and will also increase your income, which is definitely a good thing for you and your business.
