Models with advanced access in general practice have been
introduced worldwide in order to enhance healthcare services
throughout last decade. This has led to obtaining benefits such
as eliminating waiting lists, enhancing patient’s timely access
to services and lowering no show. Despite, implementing
these models in Kurdistan’s public hospitals, more precisely,
in places with no internet access or low internet literacy, these
systems will be less used. The current paper work
appointment systems introduce one of the main problems
arise in hospitals which is missing appointments by the
patients due to the long queues given by the secretary of
doctors. In the high light of this problem, there have been
several web applications developed to show the exact date of
appointments, however, according to latest report by UNDP
report on Iraq development more than 50 % of patients in
Erbil city don’t have internet access or they don’t know how
to use internet. We are proposing an optimal solution for this
problem which is an SMS based patient appointment system.
Patients will be notified by an SMS a day before the actual
appointment after they have been to hospital and registered
themselves into an online registration system by the secretary.
These are carried out in practice using SMS distributer, SQL
Server database and ASP.NET and C# programming
languages.
