The Engage Patient call In System allows practice staff to call patients who have atteneded for a face to face appointment to the clinicians rooms. This is to facilitate easier notification to patients and streamline the arrival/call process. First name/last name” to “clinician name” in “room name”. This is displayed for 10 seconds on the screen. The screen plays a notification sound when calling but will also announce the call message.
