EAHC Transition to Electronic Health Reminders - 13/10/2022

We are pleased to announce that here at East Adelaide Healthcare we are now offering secure electronic health reminders to our patients.

Our doctors put health reminders in your file to help manage your health. These reminders may involve having a test, an injection or a review. In the past, these reminders were posted out to you.

We now have the ability to send these reminders to your phone as a secure SMS. The message will come to your phone, and you will be able to click on the link to view what your health reminder is about.

What you need to do:

• When you receive an SMS health reminder, you will need to enter your Date of Birth and Surname to view it. This is to protect your privacy.
• Read the message and action the health reminder e.g. book an appointment online or call our practice to book if that is what is required.
• If you are not set up to receive SMSs from EAHC and would like to start receiving them, please speak to our reception staff.
• If you would like to stop receiving SMSs from EAHC, please speak to our reception staff. Please note, if you do opt out of SMSs, you will no longer receive appointment reminders via SMS.

This is what your health reminder will look like:
