Texting for Healthcare Organizations

The Problem

As a healthcare professional, sometimes it feels like your entire job is nothing but repeating the same information over and over again to people who didn't listen the first time and won't remember the second time. It's exhausting. And there don't seem to be any easy solutions.

People forget to come to meetings. They don't check their email. And ultimately it's hard to be too upset with them. Doctors and nurses are busy. Patients have hectic lives. But even so, it'd be nice if there was a way to solve your communication problems so you could focus on managing the facility and not simply repeating the same information over and over and over.

SMS for Healthcare

Here's the good news: There is a solution out there. This solution has a 99% read rate (almost 5xs better than email!). Your recipients do not need an internet connection. Nor do they need to download an app to receive messages. To reach people, this solution uses a device that virtually every American owns and that many check upwards of 90x per day.

The solution is text messaging.

With SMS, you can send short, informational messages to your team, to patients, and even to volunteers who help out around the office. It's the simplest, best way to communicate with your people.

How Does SMS Work for Healthcare Practices and Hospitals?

Before you can send text messages, you need two things:

  1. SMS messaging software
  2. Contact list of people who have consented to receive messages from your organization.

The good news is neither one of these things is terribly hard to get. SMS messaging solutions, such as Mobile Text Alerts, offer a 14-day free trial to try out the product before you buy and then offer ongoing services at a reasonable rate that is directly related to your specific needs.

Create a Contact List

You can build your contact list through a variety of methods. Mobile Text Alerts offers several options:

Option #1

Import a spreadsheet

Option #2

Text in You can also give people a keyword that they text in to your designated phone number to opt in.

Option #3

Subscribers can scan a QR code Other options include a QR code or web-based form. Contacts can simply scan the QR code, which you could easily print out and set up next to your front desk, and send the triggered opt-in message and they'll be subscribed.

Option #4

Subscribers can opt in by signing up online It's also easy to navigate to a webpage and opt in to receive messages that way.

How Can My Practice Use Texting?

The simplest use is for internal communication. You can handle scheduling and HR issues via texting and be confident that your team will see the message. You can also use SMS and MMS (picture messaging) to remind your staff of upcoming meetings.

Why Should I Sign Up?

Imagine a world where your no-show rate drops off dramatically and where patients more routinely show up to appointments on time and with all the paperwork they need to bring.

Imagine if doctors and nurses see your messages the first time you send them out rather than the ninth. That world is possible.

With SMS, you can improve the patient's experience and help your team be more informed and connected.

Healthcare Texting Use Cases

Testimonials

"We are a healthcare facility with multiple locations. After a snow storm, we had doctors come to work when we we were closed. We needed a way to tell everyone the same thing at one time. This software has been a game-changer. Now we use it for the "shirt of the day" on Friday, a mass text for when servers are down, or even to say "Happy Birthday!" to an employee. Great product!!!
