How do orthopaedic clinics use voice call reminders?

Orthopaedic clinics use voice call reminders to bring patients back for plaster checks, suture removal, review X-rays and physiotherapy after surgery. The call plays the doctor's name, date and time in Hindi or English, and the patient or a family member presses 1 to confirm or 2 to reschedule, which updates the clinic's appointment list.

Questions about voice broadcast for orthopaedic clinics

Why use voice calls instead of WhatsApp for orthopaedic patients?

Because many joint replacement and fracture patients are elderly and either do not use WhatsApp or do not check it. A call in Hindi or English reaches them on any phone. Many clinics send WhatsApp to the attendant and a voice call to the patient.

Can the reminder call go to a family member instead?

Yes. Add the attendant's number as a second contact and word the message for them, for example, this is a reminder about your mother's review visit. Make sure the patient agreed to share appointment information with that person.

Can patients report pain or problems through the call?

Not reliably, and you should not rely on keypresses for clinical warnings. Tell patients in the message to call the clinic directly if they have severe pain, fever or swelling, and use voice broadcast only for reminders and notices.

Can the surgeon record the pre-operative message?

Yes. A recording in the surgeon's own voice is reassuring before an operation. Keep it to the admission time, the fasting rule and what to bring, and use the same recording for every patient on that list.

When should review reminders be sent?

Send them the afternoon before the visit, with one retry in the evening. For surgery admissions, a call two days ahead and another the evening before gives patients time to arrange transport and someone to accompany them.

Can an orthopaedic clinic invite patients to a camp by voice?

Yes, but a camp invitation is promotional. Call only patients who agreed to hear from the clinic, respect the DND register, keep to 10 am to 9 pm and include a way to opt out, such as press 9.
