RESUMO
This project aimed to increase the follow-up visit rates at a free medical clinic and evaluate the effects of SMS messaging on follow-up adherence, regardless of whether patients scheduled their follow-up appointments prior to leaving the clinic or if they received paper reminder cards. The use of the SMS application increased overall follow-up rate by 7%. This project supports that patients who received reminder messages via the SMS application kept their follow-up appointments consistently.
