Description: The TM-CANCEL software module is an outbound application for the AudioCARE platform that informs patients when an upcoming appointment has been cancelled. The module is similar to the AudioCANCEL in function, except that this module sends a text message to the patient using a Short Message Service (SMS) aggregator rather than using the facility Private Branch Exchange (PBX).

The TM-CANCEL module uses an InterSystems Enterprise Cache Protocol (ECP) to connect to the Veterans Health Information Systems and Technology Architecture (VistA) to access patient data to identify the criteria necessary to send a text message to a certain patient. All Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and Protected Health Information (PHI) used during the messaging process is retrieved from VistA and stored in the Cache database or Intuitive Reliable Interoperative Scalable (IRIS) for Health in order to create reports which detail the messages that have been sent, whom they were sent to, and the patient`s response to either confirm or reschedule the appointment.

Please note that there is no specific product page for this technology and thus the vendor webpage is used in its place.
