Secure lab results by SMS

01 · BACKGROUND

The Problem

At the internal medicine group practice, appointments went unused every week because patients had forgotten them. At the same time, many patients called to ask about their lab results. Sending results by email was out of the question for data protection reasons, and the phone line was constantly busy.

02 · SOLUTION

How SMS Solves the Problem

The practice software is connected via the SMS API and automatically sends an appointment reminder the day before. As soon as lab results are available, the practice posts them to a secure patient portal. The patient receives the link by email and the password separately by SMS on their mobile phone.

The Benefits

BENEFIT 01

Fewer empty appointment slots

Patients are reminded in time and cancel if they can't make it. This way, open slots can still be rebooked.
BENEFIT 02

Results delivered in a GDPR-compliant way

The link and password arrive through two separate channels. Even if an email falls into the wrong hands, the results remain protected.
BENEFIT 03

A quieter phone

Calls about lab results have dropped significantly. The team has more time for the patients in the practice.
