To use and interpret the SMS Replies Tab in the Appointment Book
The SMS replies Tab is an optional tool for Receptionists or other users of the Appointment Book. It is a near duplicate of the list in the Manage SMS Replies list.
It only displays if enabled (see Display SMS Replies Tab and Cancels Tabs).
It lists those SMS Replies (and other incoming SMSes) that do not meet configured keyword requirements, and therefore need human intervention to determine what they are and what to do with them.
EXACT populates the columns as best it can based on the incoming SMS Reply.
Look at the Short Notice List column to identify which of these incoming SMSes are unmatched SMSes in relation to short notice gaps - these will need to dealt with as soon as possible. See When SMS Replies require user intervention.
(use this in conjunction with the SMS Replies Counter Alert).
The Reply column is especially significant - this is the text content in the Patient's SMS Reply.
Match Reply Click the Match Reply button Manually match the SMS Reply (identify exactly who, what, when):
When you have matched the reply against a patient and their contact list or appointment, click the Continue button to return to the SMS Replies list. You will notice that the Confirm Appt and Cancel Appt buttons are then active. |
