Greetings!

We are pleased to announce two exciting new features: tasks and email appointment reminders. Thank you for your support in 2009 and we look forward to an exciting 2010 with frequent releases and lots of new features. Don't forget to send us your ideas for our next release (see below).

Now you can use tasks to track work that you would like to remind yourself to complete or assign to others. Every task has a subject, due date, priority, type, and status. You can assign tasks to specific users in your practice or leave tasks unassigned to indicate shared responsibility. You can optionally attach tasks to key records in your practice, including patients, appointments, encounters, and payments. Kareo will remind you to complete any overdue tasks with a prominent to-do item on your practice dashboard. For more information, watch the Tasks Demo.

Now you can reduce "no-shows" by automatically sending emails to remind patients of upcoming appointments. Simply enter each patient's email address on their patient record, enable email reminders in your appointment options, and check the "send email reminder" box on each appointment. Your patients will receive an appointment reminder email 3 days in advance of their appointment with the doctor's name, date, time, and location of the appointment. You can also change your appointment options to send a carbon copy of each email to your own address. For more information, watch the Appointment Reminders Demo.

At Kareo, customer feedback drives our service and ensures we build the features that matter most to people like you, so your input is critical to us. Please email your ideas for our next release to [email protected].

Happy Holidays,

Kareo Support Team
