Topics Text Reminder Setup for Medics Search:  
Introduction: Medics have provision to receive text reminders on their cell phone, regarding a patient's upcoming appointment; if the appointment has been scheduled by the patient from Portals (Patient Portal Web, Referring Provider Portal, Attorney Portal, PrognoPass, Book Appointment Page), Patient Portal App (My Health Records App, Book Appointment Page embedded on My Health Records App). Medics would include either a Provider or a Clinical Staff or a Medical Assistant or an Admin staff. It is required that Medics availability is defined in ProgonoCIS from Location Master. Only those medics who have been defined on the Text Reminder Setup for Medics popup on Location Master will receive Appointment Text Reminders on their cell phones(via AT&T network).
In case of Single Location and Hybrid Location clinic setup, the Text Reminder Setup for Medics popup is available on the Location master for clinic location with the location code CL but in case of Multi-Location clinic setup, the Text Reminder Setup for Medics popup is available on Location master of all clinic locations.
