Even though Charlie works automatically, a few minutes of daily check-ins keep everything running smoothly.

  1. Review the Call Log: Check overnight calls and messages. Look for any appointments Charlie scheduled. Note any calls that need follow-up.

  2. Listen to Important Recordings: Focus on calls marked for staff attention. Check voicemails for urgent patient needs.

  3. Stay Connected: Check the Conversations page and review Mission Control alerts from Charlie.
