Amazing Charts, a leading developer of Electronic Health Record (EHR) and Practice Management systems for physician practices, today announced Amazing Reminders an automated appointment reminder service that improves patient engagement efforts and can reduce patient no-shows by up to 30 percent.

Amazing Reminders is fully-embedded within the Amazing Charts EHR appointment schedule window, increasing efficiency by reducing clicks and keystrokes. The service allows for various types of automated reminders, including voice, text, and email, which can be delivered according to the preferences of both patients and practices.

Amazing Reminders was designed with the mobile user in mind. Whether using a smartphone, tablet, or other on-the-go device, customizable messages and instructions enhance each office experience for the patient.

“Amazing Reminders paid for itself in the first week,” said Dr. Steven Hill, Wilapa Family Medicine of South Bend, Washington. “Several patients told us that they had forgotten about their appointments and our reminder made them remember. No-show appointments are down nearly 75 percent after just a few weeks of using Amazing Reminders.”

The new service is powered by Across Healthcare, a company with a mission of connecting physicians and their patients through disruptive innovations. “Amazing Reminders is a huge step forward in modernizing patient engagement,” said Johnathan Samples, president, Across Healthcare. “The consumerism movement is rapidly growing in healthcare as consumers want to engage with providers in a meaningful and convenient fashion. This offering enhances the patient experience and builds a stronger bond between the practice and their community.”

Amazing Reminders starts at $49 per month per location with additional premium packages available.
