Within 3 hours: a text or email message will be sent within 3 hours of a patient completing a survey and will include a digest of surveys also received in that time period.

Once per day: a text or email message will be sent, at your chosen time, with all recent surveys collected in the last 24 hours.

Please note: all times reflect the Eastern U.S. time zone and are in a 24-hour format.
