The handoff
A private patient-submitted appointment needs, clinic availability, and proposed administrative replies review draft with source checks, uncertainty notes, and human approval required before release or live changes.
Keep in mind
Patient messages may contain sensitive health details, and scheduling must not become diagnosis or delay urgent care. Give clear privacy and recording notice where needed, obtain required consent, verify identity and appointment details, route clinical or emergency concerns to qualified staff, and require staff to approve every booking and patient message.
