In Clinical, there is a designated tab for all communication needs. Within this tab, you will find the communications options listed below. Additionally, you can customize the page by reordering the communications to your preference using the 6 dots outlined in the screenshot:

Phone Calls

  • Abilities:

    • Voicemail: All voicemail messages will be indicated on the logged call
      ​

For each call, you can:

  • Mark the call 'Read'

  • Assign to a patient

  • Mark the call 'Completed'

  • Delete the call

  • Call back the patient

  • Create a contact with the phone number

Unread SMS

In this section, you can view unread patient SMS messages. When you click on the tab, you will see historical text messages. To view messages from patients in a split-screen view, simply click on the message you'd like to see.

From within the split screen view, you can:

  • View unread SMS messages
    ​

View SMS messages from your practice phone number and additional phone numbers
​

Lab Results

This section of communications provides notification of any lab results for a patient. You will receive all lab notifications, not just results for your assigned patients. You can filter by patient, timeframe, and completion status

From here, you can:

  • Mark the form read/unread

My Drafts

If you create a note, phone call, fax, etc. and you have not yet saved it or completed it, the document will remain in this section as a draft. You can click back into the draft, and complete it if necessary:

From here, you also can:

  • Mark the draft unread

  • Mark the draft complete

From here, you can determine whether you want to send the communication as an SMS or Email notification when to send the message, the patient name, and what number you want the notification to come from (if SMS). The email associated with the notification will always be your practice email.
