Why
Optimization of the ordering process
A substantial number of patients’ phone calls, who want to confirm, reschedule, or decline an order, were almost impossible to track and handle. The previous system also created significant operational costs when delivery wasn’t successful.
01
Improvement of patient experience
Lincare’s patients require timely notification about the delivery and the possibility of rescheduling or postponing.
02
Preparing for the future
Lincare needs to take a step in the right direction for digital transformation and automatization of processes.
03
We have successfully

The Solution
SMS Messaging System pushes notifications to Lincare’s patients ahead of product delivery. The SMS message contains multiple-choice questions with a number assigned to each option. The patients then reply with a single-character SMS and save time, money, and effort for both parties. This solution eliminates unnecessary visits when the patients aren’t able to receive the package or calls when they want to reschedule the delivery.
