keep in touch with standardized patients with the help of our instant messaging system included in the SPA module
Enter the Chat tab to view and send messages to SPs or SP coordinators
you can create custom SP group in the Chat
create an SP group based on the appointments the SPs have been requested to or confirmed for
include every SP related to the entire session
follow up with your SP group until the day of your session and stay up-to-date regarding their availability
After I’m done on the Casting page, I switch to the Chat tab. On this tab I see the following:
A search bar
The chats panel on the left where I can create new chats, or group chats, and the conversations I am already a part of
By default the first and most recent conversation is selected and the messages are shown in the middle
On the right there is an info panel with the participant(s) of the chat, a dropdown where I can select SPs in case of a group chat, and a schedule and demographics tab
For now I want to create a new chat. I hit the “+ Chat” button, which opens a popup. In this popup I select the SP (or SP coordinator?) I want to talk to, and click Create Chat. The popup closes, and the freshly created conversation is on the top of the list and is highlighted, with no message so far.
