AutoSelect, manage recall reminder and follow-up correspondence generation

Many facilities utilize the AutoSelect feature on recall and reminder screen, to manage preparation and distribution patient reminder and recall letters, regardless of the facilities schedule.

AutoSelect facilitates daily, weekly, or any schedule desired. Daily keeps the phones ringing at a consistent rate. If schedule interrupted to an absence or a holiday, AutoSelect automatically incorporates those reminders and past-due letters.

AutoSelect automatically preselects screening and follow-up patients based days prior and post to targeted recall date, and as applicable, past-due letters.

AutoSelect generates letters 30 days prior to targeted recall date (lead-time adjustable), and then generates past-due letters in the 30 day off-sets post targeted date. As soon an scheduling message is received, letters stop, unless exam is not conducted and then resumes.

Assure patient compliance with recall and annual exams

Reminder and past-due letters are a must for the radiologist to assure that patients comply with their recommendations, especially when Birads 3 is now permissible on a screening exam.

Demonstrating that patients where notified multiple times for recall, contributes as positive patient management measure for those not complying with recommendation. Log files reflect date of generation.

Use PenConnect to notify patients for reminders and past-due correspondences
