Many businesses rely on the customer’s prompt confirmation of appointments to ensure a smooth workday. This is especially true in the healthcare industry; medical practitioners and other small business owners usually see dozens of clients go in and out of their offices every day. Staying on top of those appointments can be a difficult task, but an absolutely necessary one if the business is to maintain great client relationships

You may be keeping track of your patients the traditional way—by having an assistant pencil them into your schedule and call them one by one to confirm their appointments. This may work well to a point, but it’s not the best way to manage your time, especially as your business grows bigger and you take on more and more patients. Automated appointment confirmation is here to stay.

In our increasingly busy lives we seem to prefer to confirm appointments via text rather than the traditional phone call. Since 95% of Americans have a smartphone, the ability to confirm most appointments via text is achievable.

If you want to simplify how you manage your appointments, it’s time to look at Weave—a powerful patient communication tool that helps you provide effortless service and meaningful customer experiences.

Processing, Confirming, Confirmed: Who Should Use Weave

Weave was designed with the modern healthcare provider in mind, but is making a major transition into small businesses of every kind. The platform is mostly used by hospitals, clinics, and doctors to improve efficiency and communicate better with patients. However, as Weave has grown, it has become apparent that the features that Weave offers business owners would prove valuable in any small business setting. This is why Weave introduced its small business solution. The Weave Training Portal caters specifically to the dental, optometry, and medical/wellness industries, but the software is actually quite helpful for any business that makes appointments with their customers on the regular.

If you are a doctor, dentist, optometrist, chiropractor or small business owner, Weave could be just the tool you need to automate your manual business processes.

Confirm Appointments Automatically With Weave: What Are The Benefits

Here are some of the highlights of how the Weave dental communication software can help your medical practice stay modern, smart, and effective.

Appointment Confirmation Makes Life Easier For Your Customers

Weave opens up different channels through which your patients can contact your business. Customers can send a text, or call your office to book or cancel an appointment. Your patients can even text “yes” or “I’ll be there”, and the Weave smart technology will automatically recognize the response and confirm their appointment. Plus, no matter which channel they go through, they’ll be getting the same, consistent, high-quality service across the board.

Weave’s Smart Notification system tells you when their last appointment was and if they’re overdue for a new one, so you can reach out to them when you need to, or better yet, you can set Weave up to do it for you. Also, because you don’t have to cross-check and update schedules yourself, you can give your clients accurate information instantly.

Fewer barriers, more convenience, and quicker turnaround time—these are things that your clients will surely appreciate.
