TORONTO--(Marketwire - September 20, 2010) - Patient Prompt, a leader in patient communication technology since 2004, has just completed an in-depth analysis of over a six year period to determine the effectiveness of traditional appointment reminder systems and how advancements in patient communication technology can play an important role in improving patients' lives and reducing costs for healthcare practices.
Patient Prompt™ analyzed millions of reminder calls on behalf of a variety of group and specialty practices. As a result, new "Best Practice Protocols" were developed. These reminder protocols are specifically tailored to produce the optimum results for the practice.
The result has been a 97% success rate in appointment confirmations with fewer hang ups, reduced patient cancellations, and increased revenue for the practice. Patient Prompt™ "Best Practice Protocols" can play an important role in providing more effective Preventative Care Programs, as well as Patient Compliance Programs.
Patient Prompt™ first revolutionized patient communication in 2004 by introducing its patented "Seamless Two Way Technology™" designed to integrate directly with existing practice scheduling systems to provide real time appointment confirmations. Two years later Patient Prompt™ introduced "Smart Calling Technology™" to reduce the number attempts necessary to reach and confirm patient appointments.
"Since our inception, our goal has been to provide health care practices with the most effective patient communication tool in the industry. This comprehensive analysis reinforces our belief that traditional automated appointment reminder applications just don't work. Patient Prompt™ is the culmination of years of research and development. As a long time supporter of the MGMA, we look forward to discussing our findings with its members at the upcoming annual convention in New Orleans in October," said Jeremy Greven -- President & CEO, Patient Prompt™ / Prompt Alert Inc.
