Important information

• When the Enable material resource reminders toggle is turned OFF, the patient reminders will be sent based on the location of the appointment. 
• Anytime you want to turn off the material resource reminder, simply turn OFF the Enable material resource reminders toggle!

• When an appointment is rescheduled, you'll be prompted to choose whether to send a reminder for the rescheduled appointment if the patient is "opted-in" for reminders.

  

Reminders preferences

Setup company preferences for sending appointment reminders. These preferences are applied on a  company level and may differ for each patient based on their authorized communication methods and communication restrictions. For example: If the company has SMS as a mode of communication for sending out patient reminders, but the patient's authorized communication method does not include SMS, then the patient reminder will not be sent to the patient.

Click Utilities

Click Patient Reminder

Click Company Preferences

System defaults will be selected for each preference.

Update any preference if required

• Preferred Phone Types - Select the preferred phone type to send the appointment reminder.
• Mode of Communication - Select the mode of communication to send the appointment reminder.
• Reply-To-email - Setup a reply to the email. This will be sent for every appointment reminder.
• Prior Days To Send Reminder - Setup the number of days before the reminder is sent.
• Preferred Time To Send Reminder - Select the time to send the appointment reminder.
• Allow Saturday Communication - Choose whether Saturday communication is allowed for the practice.
• Allow Sunday Communication - Choose whether Sunday communication is allowed for the practice.

Click Save to save the preferences. Then log off and log back in to apply the preferences.

Any changes made to your preferences will be reflected in the next reminder cycle if the changes are made before the reminder job runs on the backend.
