McFarland, WI - July 2007 - AMTELCO’s 1Call Division announces the NEW Infinity Appointment Reminder system, designed for Healthcare organizations that are challenged with having patients keep their scheduled appointments.

All healthcare providers know that missed appointments are more than a nuisance. Missed appointments reduce scheduling capacity, contribute to inefficiency, lower the quality of care, reduce revenue, and negatively affect the working environment for providers and staff. Tagged “no shows,“ some studies have shown that as many as 30% of all appointments end up with no one showing up or calling to reschedule.

The Infinity Appointment Reminder system allows patients to “have it their way” when being updated on future appointments. The system allows providers to customize how and when patients receive notification of upcoming appointments. Patients can receive messages via fax, e-mail, phone call, SMS text message, or by any combination of methods. The Infinity Appointment Reminder system integrates with providers’ existing scheduling systems to get the latest scheduled patient appointments that need reminder messages. Cancelled and rescheduled messages can be sent to patients as well.
