Different uses of sms messaging in society

The people of Manchester introduced SMS text messaging campaigns in order to help increase the accessibility of the Stop Smoking Service and thus increase the number of requests from people who need support or wish to quit.  People can now contact the service outside normal working hours and they can do this as soon as possible – whereas the use of telephone numbers may get lost or forgotten. 

People send an SMS text to the Stop Smoking Service and then receive a call providing them with a list of support options, including local trained pharmacists where they live in.  The Stop Smoking Service records all referrals to the service and the method of referral.  Therefore, it can break down a number of people using the SMS service to the keyword received by SMS text and the outcome of the conversation. 

SMS text messaging proves to be efficient, cost – effective and a controlled way for people to access the service.  It is a good way for young people to access the service and with its ease of communication; it is immediacy in terms of response and the way the success of each campaign can be measured are just some of the benefits. 

A hospital in London has used the finances that come from an improvement Fund to apply the “Out–of–hours” service intended for their Genito–Urinary Medicine as well as the Sexual Health clinics that are used to supply a full day meeting service. The service will be 100% confidential. The Urinary Medicine and the other clinics focus on the organization as well as the healing process of some Diseases. Most of the clinics also offer family planning solutions and also provide the patients with their appointments in less than two days. Many of the patients are not able to call the clinic throughout the working hours of the day, but if they do call, most of the time they aren’t able to get through to the clinic or there is a queue at the telephone. 

Some of the features include;

Instant booking for appointments over two days.

Text messages can be sent to certain numbers

Gathering of command information for the Health Department

Other clinic options are available     

Web based boundary

Unique language or specialized service alternatives

Compatibility with other GUM organizations

The method functions in two different ways;

Physically activated 24 hour services. That are run by a call centre or SMS messages but whichever way, the system is able to offer a complete service meant for any potential appointments. All bookings can be made by telephone, SMS message or browser boundary. 

Automatic appointment service can be made out of hours also. This specific service functions when the clinic closes. It is done by creating slots that are available over the two day period that is available by text message booking.  The appointments that is booked as well as all the available slots are taken from the system and added to the software of the clinic in the morning when they open and in the evening when they close.

How it works;
                        Visitors can text a certain number
                        All callers can get three bookings over two days
                        Visitor replies by choosing a booking date
                        The patients’ number is temporary used as the patient number
                        Bookings are then confirmed by SMS with a reference
                        When visitor goes, the number and reference is confirmed
                        Different services, different phone numbers as well as different clinics
                        Messages may consist of gender, postcode, birthday etc.
