Abstract

As telemedicine advances, it is crucial to recognize how both the Reminder System and the appraisal processes significantly affect overall patient satisfaction and healthcare results. This paper critically examined the relevance of reminder and appraisal of doctors in telemedicine system for remote healthcare delivery. An explorative study was adopted using literature review as the basis for information gathering. The study revealed that an effective reminder system not only reduces the chances of missed appointments but also improves patient involvement. When patients receive prompt reminders about their telehealth visits, they are more inclined to attend and engage actively in their healthcare management, which can improve the handling of chronic illnesses and increase treatment adherence. Additionally, the appraisal process can greatly enhance physician performance by instilling a sense of responsibility and drive. By utilizing regular feedback mechanisms that incorporate patient feedback and peer assessments, telemedicine platforms can cultivate an environment that supports physicians in reflecting on their practices and making necessary improvements.
