Managing Patient Accounts > Using the Contact Experts
The Pending Page Contact Expert is similar to the Appointment Confirm/Review Contact Expert, but it has specific uses.
The most common uses for the Pending Page Contact Expert are to:
Generate a list of appointments from the Pending Page that fill a specific length or appointment type. You might do this if you have appointment cancellations and need to fill those particular time slots with similar appointments.
Generate a list of Pending Page appointments that fill a specific production value. This is helpful if you have empty time slots that you need to fill in order to keep up with your production goals.
Contact the patients to schedule the appointments.
The Pending Page Contact Expert is a central location for working with pending appointments. The patient list is displayed at the top, along with information for the selected patient. A number of buttons link to other features in the software, so you can view and update the information if necessary.
