You can send Qnaires to your patients on a recurring basis at a pre-defined interval. For example, you can create a schedule for the CHR to automatically send an Anxiety Self-Assessment Qnaire to your patient every week to track their progress over some time. You can configure who receives the patient's responses.
If after a certain period the patient did not complete the Qnaire, the system can automatically send them a reminder.
You can also notify a user if after a defined period, the patient did not complete the sent Qnaire. The notification appears in the selected users' CHR Inbox.
