TASK APPOINTMENT EMAIL_HTML
See Email Appointment Reminder with Confirmation.
Email appointment reminders with patient response may be set for automation. For example, email appointment reminders may be scheduled to be sent to patients 24- or 48-hours in advance of their appointments.
Prime Clinical should already have set up the email appointment reminder; however, to modify how the email appointment reminder is set up, complete these steps:
• Go to Utility --►Task Manager --►Modify to display the Modify Task Manager screen.
• Scroll down through the TaskName list to find the appropriate Task. The TaskName should begin with TASK_APP_REMINDER. Note: There may be more than one TaskName starting with TASK_APP_REMINDER. One may be used for scheduling email messages with or without the patient confirmation option (TASK_APP_REMINDER_EMAIL), one may be used for text messages (TASK_APP_REMINDER_SMS or _TEXT), and one may be on a different time schedule. Note: NEVER change the task_name.
• The Parameter field displays the task parameters. Edit the parameters as needed. Do Not Modify the REMIND_METHOD and APPOINTMENT_SEQUENCE parameters. Descriptions for the Email parameters are given below.
• After making changes, click on the [Apply Changes] button.
Note: NEVER change the task_name.
When entering values, place them between the quotation marks" ".
