Reminders to visit the doctor can significantly improve the level of patient care by ensuring that patients are seen when they need to be seen. The Implementing Planned Recall module is part of a series designed to improve the management of chronic disease patients.

A patient registry is required to develop a planned recall and reminder system to schedule appointments with patients and plan their care. Planned recall helps with various types of care, such as arranging lab tests, referrals to specialist or patient education sessions.

For information on creating a patient registry, see the Developing Patient Registries Practice Guide.
