Guest guest Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 there's supposed to be some software, from 01 communique, or some such company, that will handle all your calls, and do just about everything except tie your shoes, in terms of telephony. i imagine it would do this stuff, too. has anyone tried it? i did, a few years ago, but it would never install correctly. it was supposed to be a telephone answerer, with different mailboxes, a fax server, and even call forwarder, over the internet.

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2006 Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 Ditto. My patients have liked appointmentquest and the email reminders. And, if a patient books an appt, I like getting an email notification. A few times I've gotten the email, seen the reason for the appt and proceeded to call the patient and see them a couple days early (due to my flexibility from open access and low volume)... patients have really loved that. " Cool " is a word many people use, no matter the age. It's amazing how expectations by the public for American health care providers to offer a special service has dropped so low!
