Patient experience with eReferral Appointment Reminders

Patients who are emailed appointment reminders report a positive outcome from this service.

Quick Facts

When clinicians include a patient’s email address in the electronic referral, patients receive appointment information and status updates by email, can confirm their appointments online, and receive appointment reminders via email.

  • Patients that confirm appointments online help to reduce the amount of time clinics need to spend calling patients
  • When patients are reminded of their upcoming appointments, they are less likely to miss the appointment
  • Patient-centered appointment reminders reduces no-show rate, unnecessary costs and organizational inefficiencies.1
