MedicalDirector is set to roll out version 3.16 of its clinical and practice management software, featuring new SmartForms technology from HealthLink along with a revamped recalls system and improved SMS capabilities.

The 'Connect' release is aimed at streamlining everyday tasks like recalls, messaging and SMSs, the company says. For recalls, which can be time-consuming and tedious, practices will be able to load and save search criteria, generate a recall list, and then bulk notify patients via SMS rather than having to contact them all individually.
