Setting Appointment Reminders in Jane App
Managing appointments effectively is crucial for any practice, and Jane App offers excellent tools to help you do just that. One of the most valuable features of Jane App is the ability to set appointment reminders. This not only reduces no-shows but also helps in keeping your patients informed about their upcoming appointments.
Why Use Appointment Reminders?
Appointment reminders serve as essential communication tools between you and your patients. They help ensure that patients remember their appointments, leading to better attendance rates and more organized scheduling for your practice. In addition, reminders can be customized to fit your communication style, whether that be via email, SMS, or phone calls.
How to Set Appointment Reminders
Follow these steps to set up appointment reminders in Jane App and streamline your scheduling process:
- Log in to your Jane App account.
- Navigate to the 'Settings' section. You can find it in the sidebar of your dashboard.
- In the 'Settings' menu, select the 'Appointments' tab. This is where you can manage various appointment-related features, including reminders.
- Locate the 'Reminder Settings' area. Here you can customize how and when reminders are sent.
- Choose your preferred reminder method: email, SMS, or phone call. Depending on your practice's needs, you may opt for one or multiple methods.
- Set the timing for reminders. You can choose to send reminders 24 hours, 1 hour, or even 30 minutes before an appointment.

- Test the reminder system by scheduling a test appointment. This will help you confirm that reminders are working as intended.
Additional Considerations
Keep in mind that while appointment reminders are quite useful, maintaining an open line of communication with your patients is equally important. Encourage them to confirm their appointments and to reach out if they need to reschedule. This not only fosters better relationships but can also reduce missed appointments.
By effectively setting up appointment reminders in Jane App, you will enhance the operational efficiency of your practice and provide a better experience for your patients.
