A Sent status means that Ocean successfully sent the reminder to the email host or SMS text messaging provider. Please note that a sent status doesn't necessarily mean that your patient has received the reminder. There may be delays/issues with the email host/SMS text message provider which may result in patients not receiving their reminder.
An Aborted status means that Ocean was not able to send the reminder off to the email host or SMS text messaging provider. See the Description column for details.
