Print Recall List Instructions

Use the Print Recall List to list the patients with upcoming recall dates.  A patient may be on a recall if they need to schedule an appointment for some time in the future for visits such as a yearly physical or periodic cholesterol screening.  The Recall List uses information from the Patient Recall Logging Window where patients who need a recall appointment are maintained.  Print the Recall List to contact by mail or by phone the patients who are due to schedule an appointment.  This list displays the patients and their associated recall dates with room to write notes about contacting the patient.  Generally, you should run the Recall List on a regular basis (monthly or whenever you want to contact patients).  The report has an option to build a letter file with letters or reminders for patients with recall dates within a specified date range.  After the letter file is built, you can print the letters from the Batch Letter Writer routine.

Recall List Options:

• Print a detailed or simple recall list

• Print a recall list for prior months to get a list of patients who were recalled but failed to come in for an appointment

• Print patient recall letters or postcards rather than the recall list

Note:  For more information about running reports, see Print View.
