Patient Communications saves you time and increases your practice's income by sending automated appointment reminders and survey requests to patients via email, text message, or phone. Patient Communications also enables patients to confirm appointments, which are then reflected on the Dashboard and Calendar.

In order for a patient to receive communications:

  • "Allow Appointment reminders for this location" is selected for the service location associated to the patient appointment.
  • Automated patient communication preferences must be set on the Profile tab of the patient's Demographics page.
  • An email address and mobile phone number must be entered on the Profile tab of the patient's Demographics page.

Access Patient Communications

  • Hover over the Platform icon and click on Patient Communications. The Patient Communications page opens.
