The patient record will update with today's date, giving you a history of when consent was last confirmed.

 

How to manage patient opt-out requests

If a patient does not consent to SMS communications they must be opted out using the HotDoc Sidebar functionality using the steps above or you can do this from your Dashboard.

See How to manage patient consent with the Dashboard for more information on this.
