“We can increase the success rate of the appointments and customer’s engagement in the healthcare industry by taking advantage of UconnectedIT technologies”
- SERENA SUTHERLAND, R.T.(R).

Montgomery Medical is responsible for all of the healthcare needs of your family and of every people in the society. Around an average of 677 appointments are scheduled every week for check-ups, continuous updates, and for maintenance. But not all of these appointments are successful. Most of the patients doesn’t attend their scheduled appointment for many different reasons.

Around 30% of these patients forget that they have a scheduled appointment. Others have no reason at all (26%); clerical errors (10%); felt better (8%), fearful of being seen by junior doctor (3%); inpatient in another hospital (3%); miscellaneous or other reasons (20%).

“A large number of non-attenders claimed to have forgotten their appointment or to cancel it. Supposedly, these numbers reflect apathy. If there no strategies to improve attendance, then it will be more likely to have a great impact” said by Richard Jaxon, Public Relations Officer of Montgomery Medical.  
Jaxon also added that “We invested a lot on setting up large number of appointments, but not on how to improve the attendance of our patients… so we must create new strategies to improve it.”

“By conducting extensive research, we found out that we need to engage and interact more with our patients. We need to communicate with them by constantly reminding them about their appointments in the right ways.” said by Jerick Sunker, President of Montgomery Medical.
