Professional setup

Use the simple timer first, then graduate to controlled timing.

Use EHR inbox workflows, clinical triage protocols, provider instructions, patient privacy rules, escalation policies, and clinic safety procedures as the source of truth.

Use the timer for message-triage pacing only, not for clinical triage, diagnosis, emergency, medication, privacy, or patient safety decisions.

Keep portal messages, EHR routing notes, escalation records, patient replies, provider handoffs, and safety documentation in the approved EHR, practice management, patient portal, billing, sterilization, or compliance system.

Use an XTimer room when nurses, patient portal teams, providers, front desk teams, and clinic managers need one shared patient portal message triage countdown.
