How do physiotherapy clinics use voice broadcast?

Physiotherapy clinics use voice broadcast to remind patients of the next session, call those who missed one, and ask for a weekly pain score from 1 to 5 by keypress. Home-visit physios also use it to confirm visit times. Results return to the clinic's software, so therapists see who is dropping out before the course is wasted.

  3. Patients answer by keypadEach keypress is saved against the patient, including pain scores from 1 to 5.
  4. Therapists act on itA high pain score or a press 2 creates a call-back task, and drop-outs are visible on one report.

Questions about voice broadcast for physiotherapy clinics

Can a keypress survey track a patient's pain?

Yes, as a simple self-reported score. Ask one question with a 1 to 5 scale and store each answer with the date. It gives therapists a trend between visits, but it is not a clinical assessment and should prompt a call, not replace one.

How do we stop patients dropping out of physiotherapy?

Call them the same evening they miss a session, remind them how many sessions remain and offer an easy way to rebook. A short call from the clinic often brings back patients who were simply busy or unsure whether to continue.

Can home-visit physiotherapists use voice broadcast?

Yes. A confirmation call an hour before each visit, with press 1 if the patient is home, saves wasted trips. Send it from the MsgClub Android app or schedule it from the day's visit list.

Should the reminder be recorded or text-to-speech?

Use text-to-speech for reminders with each patient's name, time and therapist. Use a recording in the head physiotherapist's voice for fixed messages, such as holiday closures or a new evening batch.

Can the pain score reach our clinic software automatically?

Yes. Each keypress arrives as an ivr.input webhook with the digit and the patient reference you sent, and call.completed confirms the call ended. Your software can store the score and flag anything at 4 or 5.

Can patients talk to the clinic during the call?

Not in a voice broadcast, which only records keypresses. Offer a key that requests a call back from the therapist. If you want an automated call that asks follow-up questions in conversation, look at MsgClub AI Voice.
