Missed clinic appointments and day surgery cases represent an enormous waste of resources and effort, and unfortunately are an all too common occurrence.

The Stat! SMS engine can produce marked reductions in non-attendance, and provide a reliable means of ensuring follow up of pathology results by clinical staff. A reminder service can be implemented for any electronic data system with the customisable Stat! SMS engine, providing enormous potential to boost the quality and efficiency of health care delivery.

The potential applications of Stat! SMS are enormous:
• Remind your patients to fast for surgery the night before an operation.
• Warn selected patients to cease taking their aspirin the week before surgery.
• Be alerted immediately to unexpected abnormalities in diagnostic tests.
• If a patient is waiting on a test result before discharge home, have the house officer notified as soon as the result is available, thereby improving the availability of hospital beds.
