- A simple system for clinicians and administrators to set recall dates.
- Alerts for reception staff to remind them what tests are due when a patient books an appointment or speaks to a receptionist.

The Diary Recall System Components
The Diary Recall System consists of the following EMIS tools:
- Data entry template to enter the follow-up date
- Page or section in the existing Ardens templates to enter the follow-up date
- Suite of searches to enable recall of patients with diary entries due
- Protocol alert which displays in the pink alert box, alerting you of any follow-ups due
- Protocol pop up reminder to alert receptionist of any diary entries due for the patient when booking an appointment
- Protocol pop up which alerts a user to a diary entry where there has been a subsequent result recorded
Installation
If you are an existing Ardens subscriber this will already be installed, but may be deactivated if you have not completed the initial house-keeping process. There is no need to complete the house-keeping to start using the template, but you should not turn on the reminder "protocols" until house-keeping has been completed.
GP Practices that are not Ardens subscribers can arrange a remote demonstration by completing the online trial form
