The administrative centre allows you to send an email or SMS to the patient in order to send him/her administrative information.

Here are some use cases: 

  • Tell the patient that he must be fasting for his/her appointment.
  • Ask the patient to bring a certain document (e.g. his/her new health insurance card) for his/her visit the next day.
  • Inform the patient that the clinic has received a consultation request form him/her and that he/she must call to make an appointment.
  • Remind the patient of an appointment (until our appointment reminder feature is available).
  • Ask the patient to wait in the cas or, on rather the opposite, that he/she can enter the clinic.
  • Etc.
