Appointment Reminders
Make the reply to a reminder useful to the team. Keep confirmations, cancellation requests, rescheduling requests and requests for staff connected to the original appointment.
How the work moves.
A reminder can uncover a missing detail while there is still time to address it.
- 01
Confirm the visit details with the patient.
Use the practice’s approved visit information and outreach preferences.
- 02
Capture changes and preparation questions.
Interpret structured replies such as CONFIRM, CANCEL, RESCHEDULE and STAFF in the appointment context.
- 03
Route cancellation or rescheduling requests.
Update the reply status and prepare the corresponding staff follow-up without losing the original appointment.
A request,
with its context intact.
A patient receives a reminder for a Thursday visit and replies RESCHEDULE. The team needs the reply and appointment context in the same place.

About this workflow.
Does a cancellation reply delete an appointment?
A reply records the patient’s request. Any appointment change follows the practice’s configured approval and scheduling process.
Can reminders include preparation instructions?
Use instructions approved by the practice for that visit. Questions outside those instructions should be routed to the appropriate team.
