Reminder/Recall Templates

Reminder/Recall templates (reports) can be created, edited, and re-run by authorized users.

Run Templates

When you generate notifications during the reminder/recall process, you are offered the chance to your criteria and selections as a template with the Save as Template button. This allows you to use the same criteria and selections again without needing to go through the process of re-selecting the same options.

On any page or pop-up window that has a Save as Template button, clicking it prompts you to enter a name and click Save. A message then appears at the top of the page confirming that the template was successfully saved.

To access saved templates, click the Use Template link at the top of any Reminder/Recall page. Authorized users can also click Reminder/Recall > Run Templates from the menu. The Reminder/Recall Search page opens, where you can enter criteria and click Search to see a list of saved templates. The templates appear as links on the Reminder/Recall Reports page. Click a template link to see more details about it. The available options/buttons on this page are:

When a Schedule button is available, the template can be scheduled to run at a later time. The Reminder/Recall Scheduler pop-up window opens with an Instructions tab and a Scheduler tab. On the Scheduler tab, enter the schedule criteria information and the names of the users who are allowed to access the report, then click Schedule.

Note icon
  • For Avery 8387 postcards, approximately 1,200 can be generated per scheduled job.
  • There is an administrative setting for scheduled tasks (reports) that allow them to be run at certain times. Therefore, if a template does not run, check the settings to determine if the hour and minute fall within the setting's timeframe.

The scheduler fields and columns are as follows:

Field Description

Run Now

Select this option to run the reminder/recall action now instead of scheduling it for a later time.

Hour

Select the hour at which the reminder/recall action should run. Minutes are selected separately.

Minute

Select the minutes (in five-minute increments) at which time the action should run (along with the hour configured in the previous field).

Day of Month

Select the specific day of the month that the action should run. If a day is not selected, the action runs every day at the set time. Note that only a day of the month or a day of the week can be selected, not both.

Month

Select the specific month in which the action should run. If a month is not selected, the action runs on the set day of every month (if a selection was made for Day of Month).

Day of the Week

Select the day of the week the action should run. The action runs on this day of the week for every week. Note that only a day of the week or a day of the month can be selected, not both.

Run Once

Select this option to run the action once on the set time and day, after which it is removed from the scheduler.

Report can be accessed by ...

Search for specific users who can have permission to access the reminder/recall notification action being performed by this scheduler. In the search results, click the checkbox to select specific users, then click Select Users. These users then appear in the Selected Users section. To remove them, click the checkbox for the user(s) in the Selected Users section and click Remove Users.

Make this count towards number of recall attempts

Select this option to have the reminder/recall notifications generated by this scheduled action/report count toward the patients' number of reminder/recall attempts.

Create Templates

Administrators can create reminder/recall templates for use by users within an Organization (IRMS) or Facility. Templates can also be edited, deleted, copied, and scheduled from here. By simplifying and standardizing providers' roles with templates specifically created for them, administrators can reduce end-user training at the provider level.

Users must have the Manage Reminder/Recall permission in order to see Reminder/Recall > Create Templates link on the menu. Click the link to open the Reminder/Recall Search page. Enter the template (report) search criteria and click Search. The available template/report search criteria are as follows:

Field Description

Reminder/Recall Report Name

Enter the name of the reminder/recall template.

User Name

Enter the username of the person who created the reminder/recall template.

Include Global Searches

Select this option to view templates that have been set for global use. The Enable Global Search option must be enabled.

Organization (IRMS)
Organization (IRMS) Group
Do Not Limit

As a default, the user's assigned Organization (IRMS) is selected. However, if the user is not assigned to an Organization (IRMS), this field is blank. If, after logging in, the user goes to the main menu and selects a new Organization (IRMS), this field resets to the newly selected Organization (IRMS).

To search for reminder/recall templates for a specific Organization (IRMS) or group, select it from the appropriate drop-down list. The Do Not Limit option is generally used by Registry Client users.

The default is Do Not Limit. To limit the search to templates created for a specific facility, select the facility from the drop-down list.

To search for templates by a specific VFC PIN, select it from the drop-down list.
