Few patients remember when they are due for their next check-up. Even when they have a vague realization that it is time, not many jump at the opportunity to pick up the phone and call to schedule their appointment.

Recall is a special type of reminder message sent to patients to notify them that it is time to set up a new appointment for their next check-up or continuing care. Recalls help patients maintain good health by ensuring they don't forget they are due for a check-up. They also provide an easy way for patients to respond entirely online by scheduling their next appointment on their own by clicking through to DocMeIn's patient self-scheduling wizard.

For the practice, recall is an essential, fully automated, marketing capability, which creates meaningful demand for its services. Recalls are set up automatically after any appointment marked as routine and will be triggered after the duration specified in your account settings. They are also automatically created based on last appointment date in your imported patient data.
