Halaxy works best when it does your work for you, saving you time otherwise spent on admin and paperwork. Communication templates automate the creation and personalisation of emails, SMS messages, faxes (if available) and admin notes for your practice, instead of starting from scratch every time.
By creating and reusing templates, you can optimise your practice and get more time for patient care.
