Sending default documents and messages

Choose which documents and messages a patient receives by default after treatment, such as the invoice, treatment summary, aftercare instructions, reminders and review requests.

Written by Pablo

After creating a treatment record, you can send your patient documents and messages about their treatment. Each of these is a checkbox in the Send to patient pop-up.

To save time, you can set which of those checkboxes are ticked by default. A default is a starting point, not a lock: practitioners can still deselect an item while creating the record if it is not applicable.

Where to find this setting

Go to Menu > Record settings > Records > Record defaults and scroll to the section Defaults: Send to patient. Tick or untick the boxes you want, then press Save.

Which options are available

The section Defaults: Send to patient contains the following checkboxes:

  • Quote reminder (email)

  • GP letter (email)

  • Treatment summary (email)

  • Aftercare instructions (email)

  • Treatment reminders (email)

  • Treatment reminders (SMS)

  • Product reminders (email)

  • Product reminders (SMS)

  • Invoice (email) — the general invoice, without the patient's name

  • Personal invoice (email) — the personalised invoice, in the patient's name

  • 'Thanks for your appointment' (SMS)

  • Survey/review (email)

  • Survey/review (SMS)

Unticking a box means that item is no longer selected by default, so it is only sent if someone ticks it for that specific record.
