Checking that SMSes have been sent, received, or acted upon

Utilisation Manager automation is based on SMS Replies functionality, where EXACT auto-sends template messages, recognises keyword replies by patients, and auto-sends confirmation or rejection (gap gone) template messages.

The Receptionist is not involved in this automated SMS interaction, but has ways of optionally checking that the SMS interaction is taking place:

Email screen (master list of all EXACT messages) > Outbox tab and Sent tab:

EmailOutbox,Send,generic

Patient File (patient-specific) > Contacts tab :

GapGone-PatientContactsTab1

We'll look at three optional checking procedures:

Checking that Available Gap notices have been sent

Checking that Confirmation notices have been sent, received, acted upon

Checking that Gap Gone (no longer available) notices have been sent
