Message Compose

Search:

This option is a messaging system for use within the application. Internally there are four types of Messages. Notification: These are system generated intimations to Doctors when a predefined subscribed event takes place. In the context of the applications some events have been predefined. The configuration option allows the admin to subscribe to one or more of these events. These could be simple ones like Today's appointment of Mr John has been rescheduled, Or a New Patient has been referred by a Doctor. Alerts: These are also system generated intimations to Doctors when a predefined subscribed event takes place. The difference being that the Doctor is expected to act on it. A nurse enters a new Lab Order and the Doctor is expected to Approve it. Like wise he needs to Approve the Lab Results which have come in. Normal Message: This is more like short email messages, which can be send to any authorized user within the application. Urgent Message: This is like a Normal Message but with a different categorization to indicate priority. Telephonic Message: This is a message sent when the Doctor would have been busy and had received a telephone call and attended by the sender. So the User can compose messages of the last three types only, Normal, Urgent and Telephoic Message. To: Select the type of person to communicate with Users or Patient or Roles from the radio button. Patient radio button is enabled only if user has subscribed to Patient Portal. The Patient or Users name can be entered with auto complete feature.
