I liked the implementation of Asterisk calling patients for reminders.
It’s a hipaa issue whether or not patients allow a practice to leave a message on their machine,
to address this and many other future issues I added a hipaa choices section in the patient data, files touched are:
lib/patient.inc
lib/report.inc
sql/database.sql
sql/update***.sql
interface/patient_file/summary/demographics.php
interface/patient_file/summary/demographics_full.php
interface/patient_file/summary/demographics_save.php

Are you adding the ability to select reminders via asterisk phone call or e-mail?  Might be handy to add that in now while you are making the changes.

This is exciting though, because I have asterisk running on my clinic server.

I have it in my wish list,
I red about it in a blog someone linked,
It looks like that with a $120 pice of hardware from the Asterisk makers (+pc) it can be easily done. I’m buying the developer kit to start playing with it, and it seems that with only that kit the system shoud perfectly do the calls.
