Appointment reminder messages will be sent regardless of whether the appointment has been confirmed or not. A practice should decide which type of visit may be beneficial to send the additional reminder. For example, it may be beneficial to send a reminder for new patient and well visit appointments but not sick visits since these are typically scheduled close to the actual appointment.
| WARNING: This information is intended only for clients currently in the implementation or production phase with OP Notify functionality. |
For the best experience with notifications, practices should consider using their Practice Management vendor. The Practice Management vendor "owns" the demographics. Though information is sent to OP across the Practice Management interface there may be data integrity issues. For example, the interface allows for only one phone number and does not accept email addresses.
If a practice chooses to use OP Notify as a solution, the practice can choose to do so. Please contact your Client Advocate for further discussion.

InteliChart Version 3.5.7 (released 06-May-2019) adds support for the phonetic spelling of Provider names in OP Notify. This feature helps to ensure that the name of the Provider mentioned in voicemails is pronounced correctly.
The Add Phonetic Spelling Fields to Provider Administration for OP Notify feature includes:
- Phonetic Name fields have been added to Provider Administration in the Practice Portal.
- A play button allows the practice to play back the pronunciation.
- If the practice chooses to enter the Phonetic Name, Notify will use the phonetic name spelling to pronounce the Provider Name when sending voice calls.
- Phonetic Name fields are not required.
This enhancement helps to ensure that voicemail communication pronounces the names of Providers correctly by allowing the end user to spell the name phonetically (in the Phonetic Name field on the Add New Staff window). Clicking the Play button activates a voice playback that pronounces the name as spelled. This Play feature allows the end user to modify the phonetic spelling until the pronunciation is exact.
Note: This enhancement is available only when the Provider radio button is selected as the User Type.
