Health care providers such as the Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust in the U.K. have recently started testing SMS-based software in order to remind patients to attend appointments. The SMS services will send a scheduled text to the contact’s phone through the network. Some providers offer for the texts to be scheduled through Microsoft Outlook, increasing usability. Hundreds of dollars are wasted each hour on missed appointments to pay hospital employees. Scheduling reminders might prove to be a useful way to ensure that people can be reached in a timely and efficient manner.
