In any professional services businesses, including chiropractic and other practice types, automating tedious tasks is a great way to reduce overhead expenses and increase efficiency at the same time.   And when I reference “automation” it will usually mean the computer and internet.  It’s 2010, and most if not all of your clients will have both.

Remember the old way of scheduling?  You’d have a receptionist at the front with a multi-line phone; a big scheduling book in front of her, and a pencil and eraser.  Patients/ clients would make appointments over the phone or as they check out, and the receptionist would rifle through the pages of the appointment book, looking for an available slot.  But sometimes the patient will first say “let me look at my calendar to see when I’m available,” pull out her own personal calendar, and that could add a couple of minutes alone to the process.  Then, as the appointment day approached, the receptionist would call to remind the patient of her appointment, or even send out a reminder postcard.

What if there was a system where the patient could schedule himself an appointment with you in the privacy of his home, office, coffee shop, or anywhere there was internet access?   And on top of that, get an email reminder of his appointment via email or phone text message?  That would cut down on a lot of your no-shows and may even increase your patient visit appointments.  Well, that system is here.  Genbook is a service that can do this, and more.
