Edit the date/time, add comments, remove a reminder, add a reminder, add Qnaires

Updated yesterday

Each appointment type can have an automated reminder scheduled to be sent at a specific day and time with or without a Qnaire (see Customizing appointment reminders for an appointment type). You can also change these settings on a per appointment basis from the schedule. You can edit the date and time the reminder should be sent, add additional comments to the reminder message, add or remove a Qnaire. You can also remove a scheduled reminder or and add additional reminders.

You may want to add a new reminder if a patient called to ask about their appointment details and you want to immediately send those details.

Reminders are only sent if an appointment status is Confirmed, Booked, Rescheduled, or Action Required. They can be sent before or after an appointment.
