The following is copied from the press release. I have not seen this yet but it looks interesting.
The state-of-the-art service emails recall notices to invite patients to select a desired appointment time.  Beyond an automated notification tool, UAppoint’s unique appointment scheduling system shows patients’ available appointments, allowing each patient to request an appointment at an available time.  If acceptable to the dental office, a single click confirms the appointment. This is all done securely and in total compliance with HIPAA regulations.  And since the medical/dental office decides which time slots are available and whether an appointment request is acceptable, the doctors’ office retains complete control over their schedule.
When staff enters a new appointment in the practice management software scheduler, an appointment card is automatically emailed to the patient. This email gives the patient a written record of the appointment.  No double entry and no training necessary.
As the result of UAppoint’s innovative solution, doctors’ offices can now enjoy greater control over the appointment scheduling process. Effortlessly an optimal schedule is created. The automated process results in reduced overhead, reduced no-shows, reduced frustration, concomitant with enhanced patient convenience and satisfaction.

I posted a short message regarding CADI last year. I have just learned that CADI has been ordered to stop selling their system in the US based on copyright issues. If you already purchased CADI this may leave you in a vulnerable position regarding future service and support.

When cleaning a system for transfer, don’t use the Recycle Bin to delete files. Even when emptied, “deleted” files are still easily recovered, since the built-in delete mechanism simply makes the area on the hard drive where the old file was stored available to new files. Instead, use a “file shredder” program, which overwrites the file multiple times before erasing it. Almost a dozen free shredder programs are available from Snapfiles.com [2]
You should delete other personal data, too. From your e-mail program, delete any inbox or stored messages, and compact all folders if there is such an option. Delete any contacts in the address book, and remove any server/log-on account information. From your Web browser, delete your bookmarks and saved passwords, and use a program like CCleaner  [3] to delete things like your browser’s history, cache, cookies, temporary files, and so forth. If you use AOL or a dial-up or PPPoE Internet connection, delete any accounts or connection passwords.
