Key Benefits of SMS Hospital Alerts
SMS hospital alerts can save lives, and there is an urgent need for real-time communication solutions in this sector. If this isn’t reason enough to switch to health SMS, here are a few more benefits that will help make up your mind.

NHS England reduced its medical appointment DNA (did-not-attend) rates by 20% and saved 750,000 pounds through appointment rescheduling. 50% of their canceled appointments were rescheduled via SMS, and 91% of study respondents said that they would be open to last-minute appointments.
