them to the Waiting Room, or scheduling an appointment
for them. You can then (optionally) indicate which Recall(s)
the patient is attending for.
o Indicate whether this user will be displayed the Recall Attendance Prompt, and
o Whether the Recall Reason column will be visible to them within the prompt itself, or in the Waiting Room (i.e. you may wish to hide this information from non-clinical staff).

NOTE: if you are using MedicalDirector Clinical, you will now need to edit this practitioner in Clinical to finalise the setup within in, or have the Practitioner login with this new account, which will prompt for setup finalisation.
