As part of our new electronic medical record, we have implemented a new reminder system for upcoming appointments as well as reminders for children who are overdue for well visits and other recommended screenings and tests. We can even use the system to remind patients with certain conditions of needed tests, such as flu shots for asthma patients.
Reminders and messages can be sent by text, email, or phone – your choice! Since the beginning of the year, we have been recording your preferences in anticipation of this new service. You can decide how you want to receive reminders from us, and you can change it at any time.
We have already tested the system and everyone seems to really love it, especially getting messages by text or email. We hope it improves both our service to our patients and ultimately their health. Our goal is to provide the most comprehensive, compassionate, and connected care available. We are excited about this new feature. Please let us know how you like it!
