The Follow Up action in CareCru is an effective tool to create a To-Do list for yourself and others in the practice. They allow you to set a follow up reminder for a specific patient to track time sensitive tasks such as:

  • Following up on a Treatment Plan

  • Collection of a payment

  • Scheduling appointments

  • and more!

A Follow Up can be created using the Actions menu, which is conveniently located throughout the CareCru platform. You can find the Actions menu in the following areas:

  • From Patient Management, on the Patient Info view

  • Directly on the Patient Profile section

  • From Chat, by clicking on the patient's name
