Web Sched Recall

Web Sched Recall allows a patient to schedule their recall appointment when they receive a recall reminder via email or text.

In eServices Setup, click Recall.

To begin using Web Sched Recall, first Sign Up for the service.

Note: Offices should still check the recall list periodically, as some patients may not meet the criteria for automated reminders. Users can verify reminders are going out by looking at the Reminders Tab in the Recall List where sent automated reminders are shown.

Provider Assignment Logic:

Appointment Detail Logic:

Clinic Logic: Web Sched will first check for available openings in operatories of the patient's clinic. If the patient has no clinic, it will look at operatories for the clinic of the last scheduled or completed appointment. If no clinic can be determined, only time slots in operatories assigned to no clinic are considered (operatories flagged Is Web Sched with None as the clinic).

Aggregate Messages: When multiple patients are sent a Web Sched Recall reminder and share a common email address or wireless phone number (e.g., a family), the recall information will be aggregated into one message and a commlog will be generated for each patient.

Aggregate text message recall reminder:
"Dental checkups due: [FamilyListURLs]. Visit links to schedule appointments or call [OfficePhone]."

Aggregate email message recall reminder:
"These family members are due for a dental checkup:"
"[FamilyListURLs]"
"Please visit the links above or call our office today at [OfficePhone] to schedule your appointment."

The "[FamilyListURLs]" tag will be replaced lines that look like this: "Harry - Schedule appointment at http://od.ag/w/LWVhHh".
