| Resource | Crisis alerts and care reminders | IHE mACM |
A simple form of notification is SMS text and mobile application notifications. Example use cases include:
- Public health Disease exposure notifications
- Patient Appointment reminders
- Practitioner alerts
- Care provision changes (e.g. surgery closed)
These may be used in conjunction with Event Notification, for example a HL7 FHIR or v2 Appointment Notification is converted into a Alert Notification or the alerts are triggered within an EHR applications. The Alert Notification are not sent directly to a recipient, instead they are sent to a Communication Manager which performs this action. The Communication Manager optionally can select the appropriate method of communication.
