Recommended keyword replies (optional)

Many clinics use keyword replies to reduce inbound calls and provide quick help:

INSTRUCTIONS = resend aftercare instructions (PDF)
CALL = clinic phone number
ADDRESS = directions
OK = patient confirms instructions received

For automated keyword replies to work, the clinic computer must be ON and the software must be OPEN.
