Brief Overview
Recalls are used as reminders to organise an appointment for a patient after a certain length of time (ie 4 weeks or 12 months). Recalls are normally used for things such as post-operative follow-ups, the ongoing monitoring health conditions, annual checkups, or to discuss recent test or scan results.
