Example: A Patient needs to be seen every six months or for a yearly health visit or a yearly eye care exam.
- These visits may be so far in the future that the Patient routinely declines to make the Appointment that far in advance, or the practice does not schedule appointments that far out.
- Instead, the Patient is added to a Recall List.
- This list can be used to send Reminders or to make calls to the Patient who should schedule an appointment.
A Patient can be added to the Recall List on the Patient Dashboard in the Patient Appointment panel or on the Appointment screen.
If a Patient has one or more Open Recalls, they can be viewed while scheduling an Appointment.
