Filter by:In this observational study, the investigators will analyze all patients who have scheduled appointments in the Urology Department from twelve months before the start date of the e-mail reminder dispatch (01/02/2023) to twelve months after (01/01/2022 to 31/12/2023). The investigators will divide them into two groups based on whether they have received the reminder or not. The investigators are going to compare the rate of no-show rates in both groups and then obtain the relative risk of the association between appointment reminders and no-show rates.
Pediatric Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (pLUTS) is common in school-age children and can negatively impact the quality of their life. Although at least 50% of children with pLUTS can improve through behavioral changes, how to support parents in helping their children adopt healthy bladder behaviors remains unrevealed. To solve this problem, the investigators developed an early model of a text message-based healthcare assistant. The aim of this study is to examine the feasibility of the text message-based healthcare assistant in pLUTS care.
Missed appointments to outpatient substance use treatment are common and costly and can have a negative effect on the health of patients. In this quasi-experimental study, the investigators used an on-off design to examine whether a reminder "plus" intervention (telephone call from therapist before first appointment) would increase attendance and improve cancellation and rebooking practices. Secondary outcomes included satisfaction with treatment and intention to complete the treatment program.
This study is the second trial related to ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT02761551. There are slight changes to methods and a different cohort will be used, thus justifying a 2nd ClinicalTrials.gov submission. This trial is taking place in New York State (not NYC) and in Colorado. Each state has it's own ClinicalTrials.gov submission. Despite U.S. guidelines for influenza vaccination of all children starting at age 6 months, only about half of children are vaccinated annually leading to substantial influenza disease in children and spread of disease to adults. A major barrier is that families are not reminded about the need for their children to receive influenza vaccination. The investigators will evaluate the impact of patient reminder/recall (R/R) performed by state immunization information systems to improve influenza vaccination rates by using three clinical trials in two states. The investigators will assess effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of: 1) autodialer reminder/recall versus 2) postcard reminder/recall versus 3) usual care (no R/R) on improving influenza vaccination rates. The investigators will disseminate the state immunization information system based reminder/recall system to all states for use for both seasonal and pandemic influenza vaccinations with the goal of lowering influenza morbidity.
This study aims to assess the effectiveness of a stepwise approach, with increasing complexity and cost, to improve adherence to organized cervical cancer screening: step 1a - customized text message invitation; step 1b - customized automatic phone call invitation; step 2 - secretary phone call; step 3 - health professionals face-to-face appointment. A population-based randomized controlled trial will be implemented in Portuguese urban and rural areas. Women eligible for cervical cancer screening will be randomized (1:1) to intervention and control. In the intervention group, women will be invited for screening through text messages, automatic phone calls, manual phone calls and health professional appointments, to be applied sequentially to participants remaining non-adherent after each step. Control will be the standard of care (invitation by written letter). As primary objectives, we intend to test the superiority of interventions based on step 1 (1a+1b) and multistage interventions based on steps 1 and 2 and steps 1 to 3, based on intention-to-treat analyses.
The overarching goal of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness, cost-effectiveness and sustainability of utilizing statewide Immunization Information Systems (IIS) to conduct centralized reminder/recall (R/R) to improve Human Papiloma Virus (HPV) vaccination rates among adolescents ages 11-17.

The investigators will evaluate the impact of patient reminder/recall (R/R) performed by state immunization information systems to improve influenza vaccination rates by using three clinical trials in two states. The investigators will assess effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of phone reminder/recall on improving influenza vaccination rates. The investigators will disseminate the state immunization information system based reminder/recall system to all states for use for both seasonal and pandemic influenza vaccinations with the goal of lowering influenza morbidity.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether contacting the parents of adolescents overdue for routine vaccines or contacting both the parents AND adolescents overdue to routine vaccines improves immunization rates as compared to usual care.
