There is no arguing that automated emails and text messages are a convenience for any practice. They can reduce the number of phone calls staff are required to make. That's why we include them as part of what you get when you subscribe to Recall System Pro. Here's something that is not commonly known - less than 15% of patients will open an email when they do not have an appointment. If you are looking for software that can assist you with recall, more than email is needed.
You might be thinking ' but I know that patients respond to email and text, they love the convenience, I'm asked for it more and more'. This is true for confirming appointments. In fact, around 60-70% of patients will respond to an email when they have an appointment. So the distinction that I'd like to point out here is that email and text work great for getting patients to confirm an appointment they already have, but when using the same technology for getting patients to come back, the results drop significantly. When shopping for a patient recall product, it's important to understand this difference.
Happy Thanksgiving!
I quick Happy Thanksgiving to all our American Subscribers. I hope you enjoy the long weekend and take advantage of the time off with your families. We at RSP are thankful for your continued support.

T.O.D.S 2014 Thanks!
We at RSP had a great time attending the T.O.D.S conference this year. It was great to see some familiar faces! I'd also like to acknowledge the fantastic effort put forth by our newly acquainted friends at Patterson - specifically Gary, Linda, Wendy and Jim. We very much appreciate the support and look forward to many more events together.
Multiple Family Members - One Click
A small but time saving feature has been added to Recall System Pro. You can now complete actions or change statuses of entire families at once rather than having to go into each individual family member file. Just another way to save you time and frustration throughout the day.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Just a quick note to wish all of our Canadian Recall System Pro subscribers a Happy Thanksgiving. Enjoy the break, we at Recall System Pro hope you have a great long weekend. We are thankful for your continued support!
T.O.D.S 2014
Calling all B.C. RSP users! We will be attending the Thompson Okanagan Dental Society meeting from Oct.23rd to Oct.25th 2014. Ron, the CEO of RSP will be giving an excellent patient recall talk if you'd like to deepen your understanding on the subject matter. There is no charge for attendance. Also, if you have the time, please come by our booth for a visit - we will be a part of the Patterson Dental booth.
And it goes without saying but any practice who may be interested in what we have to offer please feel free to stop by and ask for me as well. Looking forward to seeing you there!
London's Calling
Just returned from a great weekend in London, Ontario. I have to commend Dean, Branch Manager London, for such an extraordinary event. The team at RSP had a fantastic time meeting some of your best practices as well as reconnecting and meeting some new reps. The education was top notch. Looking forward to the next one.
Cleardent Ready To Go
Great news, Cleardent is now a compatible platform for Recall System Pro. We are very excited to offer our software to those using this scheduling platform. We anticipate high demand in the coming months. A quick shout out to our development team who delivered the integration a full 2 months before the expected date. On to the next one!
NWDE 2014
A quick thank you to the Patterson Dental Team in Edmonton, we had a great time at the Northwest Dental Expo. I look forward to many more events. For those that attended and perhaps didn't have a chance to stop by the Patterson Booth, please feel free to reach out to me for more information. See you at the next one!
New to Our Team
Happy to report that we have just hired Paul as our new Service and Support Manager. Paul brings a great deal of experience to the table as well as a commitment to taking care of our loyal RSP users. I have no doubt that he will make positive contributions to our organization and thought I'd offer a sincere welcome to the team! Looking forward to working with you.
Tracker Underway!
The next platform to become compatible with Recall System Pro has been selected. By popular demand, we are now working on our integration with Tracker. We anticipate delivery well before the Christmas season and we thank all those that are patiently waiting!
Cleardent Beta Underway
We are excited to announce that we are adding a new scheduling platform to our RSP family. We are in the process of becoming compatible with Cleardent. Thanks to those who have been patiently waiting. We will keep you posted as to when we expect to release.
Multi Practice Analytics
There is a new enhancement to the RSP Dashboard. If you have more than one practice and you'd like to compare and contrast different locations you can do it with ease. We now have the ability to compile multi practice information to give you a broader picture as to how all your locations are performing without having to visit each individual practice dashboard. It saves you time and that makes us happy.
Message Delivery Options
By popular demand we have added a new feature to RSP. You can now decide what time each and every automated message will be sent during the day. Some practices like the ability to send their due and late patients messages later in the day while keeping their confirmation messages to be sent early in the morning. With this enhancement any communication with your patient can be fine tuned. Just call into support and adjust your settings.
Practice Birthday Wishes
Just a quick note to let all of our existing subscribers and potential new ones know that we now have a special birthday e-mail that can be sent to all of your patients on behalf of your practice when that special day arises. Just let us know that you'd like this feature and we'll activate it at no charge.
ASM 2014
Thanks to all who visited our booth at the ASM 2014 in Toronto. We had a great time visiting with our existing subscribers and introducing our software to new clients. It was a great success and we look forward to the next time we can get out and mingle. It's nice to get of the office every now and then!
Customize Your Survey
Hi RSP users, just an FYI that you can now completely customize the survey questions that your patients will be receiving post visit. To do this, you simply go to your RSP dashboard and under the Survey/Referrals section you will see a new area called 'Customize Survey'. In here you can edit existing questions and/or create new ones. If you'd like more information on how this works, feel free to reach out to support @ 1-800-651-8603 ext 3.
PDC 2014
Thanks to everyone who stopped by our booth at the PDC in Vancouver. It was great to catch up with our existing clients and introduce RSP to some potential new ones! We had a great time and look forward to the ASM in Toronto in May.
Patterson Partnership
We are very excited to announce that Patterson Dental is now the exclusive Canadian distributor of Recall System Pro. I have had the pleasure of getting to the know people at Patterson over the last year and can say that the common undercurrent in the organization whether engaging with sales reps, trainers or directors is one of integrity and a desire to offer value to practices that far exceed the common mentality of simply selling products. This commitment is inspiring. We could not have aligned ourselves with a better organization.
We look forward to many collaborative years together making a difference in the lives of those who work in the dental industry.
