The Message Center allows users within a practice to communicate with each other and with patients. Create timely and targeted messages with custom email templates and patient groups, schedule batch email messages to be delivered on a future date, or communicate freely by sending personalized, on-demand messages. This interactive system lets patients reply directly to any communication they receive and delivers responses right to your inbox.
