There are several methods used for sending appointment reminders, each with its own advantages and disadvantages:
1. Phone Calls: Personal and direct, but can be time-consuming and may not always be answered. 2. Text Messages: Quick and efficient, with higher open rates compared to emails. 3. Emails: Useful for providing detailed information but may be overlooked or end up in spam folders. 4. Automated Systems: These systems can send reminders through multiple channels and are highly efficient for large healthcare facilities. 5. Healthcare Apps: Increasingly popular, apps can send push notifications and integrate with other health management tools.
