Key Features

  • Reminder Sets: Group templates, timing, and delivery preferences into reusable sets for consistent outreach.
  • Message Templates: Create and manage text, email, or voice templates with patient-specific fields for personalized reminders.
  • Reminder History: View undelivered reminders and troubleshoot delivery issues directly within the system.

Types of Appointment Reminders

  • Appointment Reminders (Standard) are configured and scheduled from Patient Outreach.
  • On-Demand Appointment Reminders (4.10 Only) are sent manually from the Patient Appointments panel on the Patient Dashboard. 
  • These use standard Appointment Reminder templates but are delivered right away.
  • Appointment Update Reminders (4.10 Only) can be scheduled or sent on-demand.
  • These require their own templates separate from standard reminders and are sent when:
  • Updating appointment statuses en masse via Manage Appointments;
  • Scheduling a block appointment that affects existing patient appointments;
  • From the Patient Appointment screen.
