Patient Reminders
MU Requirements
1. AR.EP.N.1 The technology shall have the ability to send reminders to patients per patient preference for preventive/follow up care.
See Clinical Decision Rule for usage/application.
Proposed Solution
1. Create a rule-based patient reminder system for #1. The reminders are sent to provider's Messages box, which are then route to the patients.
2. A patient reminder can be sent in three ways: phone call, email, and/or by letter.
3. Integrate patient reminder with an optional VOIP service to do automated phone calls. This is done using an API. No development work is needed for VOIP. Why VOIP? Because it costs about $1 to mail a letter, while an automated VOIP call is $0.10. The remainder schedule can also be controlled more precisely.
