Patient announcement template

Below is a patient email template you can use to to notify patients about your new scheduler. We recommend replacing the screenshots with some from your own clinic, so they'll include your clinic's name and logo. 
Here's an example of a website blog post to announce the change.

Our online scheduler has a new look!

Dear ,

Greetings from your friends at ___! 

Our online scheduling system will look a little different the next time you log in—we’ve just completed a huge upgrade!

You’ll now need to login to schedule an appointment here: [patient portal URL]

Please update the website in your bookmarks! Your username and password will be the same.

Here’s a quick tour of our new system:

Schedule an appointment

When you log in, you’ll automatically see the current day’s schedule. To make an appointment, just click “Reserve” next to your preferred appointment time. If an appointment time appears gray, that means it’s not available.

View and edit your patient profile

To view your patient profile page, click your name in the upper right corner. On your patient profile page, you can edit your account details such as address and phone number, edit your emergency contact information, and change your password. 

On your patient profile page, you can also view your past and future appointments, and past transactions.

New Features!

Default Location

You can now set a default location, which will always show up first when you log in. To set your default location, click Edit Account Details and scroll down until you see the option for Default Location. Once you set a default location, you’ll still be able to see available appointments at all locations, but your default will show up first. Be sure to slick Save Details to save your default location!
