Overview

Being instantly visible, patient alerts are helpful to quickly notify practitioners and administrative staff on important information when dealing with specific patients.

Some examples include:

  • Difficult patients: People who have been banned from a practice or are prone to violence.

  • Difficult situations: A parental custody dispute may affect appointment bookings or invoice payments.

  • Special needs: Patients who may need extra assistance whenever they visit the practice.

  • Quick reminders: Any reminders relating to the patient - such as specific questions to ask, return items they forgot at your location, etc.

You can add up to 3 alerts per patient.

Note

The maximum length of a patient alert is 1024 characters.
