From sending Quick Load Templates to responding to questions, addressing and monitoring patient messages has never been easier with Engagement [Modento]'s Patient Chat. Here is a short video on the Patient Chat feature:
How to Send Individual Text / Email Messages to Patients
Access the Patient Chat feature
Search for the patient in the Search Bar
Click into the Patient
Select the delivery method by clicking the Text, Email or Mobile App + Push bubble
If any of these options are not available, this means we do not have the contact information attached to the patient profile or they are not a mobile app user.
Note: There is a 560 character limit when sending manual text messages from within Patient Chat. Automated text messages created from Direct Message Templates or Verbiage Settings have a 320 character limit to allow for the office contact information and patient details that may need to be included in the message.
Click into the messaging window to begin typing your message. Click on the bottom right corner of the messaging window to expand it
Click on the smiley icon or picture icon to insert an emoji or picture to your message
Add Quick Messages or Placeholders if desired

Click Assign
How to Filter Patient Chats
Access the Patient Chat feature
Select the Filter icon above the existing chats
Choose which filters to apply (Unassigned, Assigned to me, Assigned to *Team Member*)

Show All Communication Setting
When viewing a conversation in the Patient Chat, you will have the option to select Show All Communication. This will show all automated and manually sent messages
User's settings for Show All Communication now saves per user per device. Meaning if a user is signed into Engagement [Modento] on a computer and clicks Show All Communications, the setting will stay clicked on this computer for their log in. If the user were to sign into Engagement [Modento] on a different device, they will need to click Show All Communications on that computer to save as the default for that device. If another user were to sign in on that same computer, it will not have the check box selected default until done manually through their log in.
When you receive an email in the patient chat, Engagement [Modento] autodetects signature fields on emails and prevents them from loading. This helps ensure that your dashboard stays clean and uncluttered, allowing your office to practice smarter!
