Prescription print-outs with Vital Signs and Clinical Notes

We understand the importance of prescriptions when the patient visits you the next time. It serves as a point-of-reference to know what transpired in the previous consultation.

To make prescriptions more comprehensive, we’re including Vital Signs and your Clinical Notes in your prescription print outs.

So now you don’t need two separate printouts – you get the most relevant patient information all in one sheet. To know more about the feature, check our help article.

Supercharged SMS with App Link

The fastest and easiest way for your patients to book an appointment with you is through the Practo App. All they have to do is find you on Practo, see when you are available, and instantly book an appointment. Since it’s so convenient, patients are more likely to book an appointment, rather than thinking that they’ll do it when they ‘find the time’.

Supercharged SMSes are Appointment Reminder/Confirmation SMSes sent to patients, along with a  App Download link.Supercharged-appointment-confirmation-SMS-1024x466

The link reminds patients to get the App, making it easier to book their next appointment with you, and to find your clinic when they need to.

Holiday season tips to manage your practice better

As we usher in the holiday season, here are two Practo Ray pro-tips:

1. Going on holiday? Block your calendar and streamline online appointments

If you’re going on a vacation or just taking out some time from your practice, make sure to let patients know, by blocking your calendar. This will help you avert unintended online appointments and help patients seeking appointments plan better.

Here’s how you do it: Blocking your calendar for holidays

2. Send personalized festive greetings to patients

Reaching out to patients on festivals is a great way to spread positive messages about health and create brand recall for your practice.
