By bradymiller:

As discussed in the forums, seems to be better to place this within the messages script; The Calendar screen is not used by everybody (note there is a globals option to hide the calendar and use the patient search screen in place of the calendar), so wouldn't assume that the calendar is the "central" screen. From a workflow perspective, as a physician, in EMRs the main screen generally tends to be the "Message screen". And I am guessing this is also the case for RN's, receptionist, billers, etc.
My thoughts are to change the title of the Message screen to "Message Center" and place a Reminders section at the top (your widget) and the Messages section under this (your widget works nicely for this since it is expandable/collapsable). I am willing to bet that this "Message Center" script will become the focal point of OpenEMR when not looking at patients (in that case, the patient summary screen is the focal point); it will also make sense to migrate Authorizations there and then at some point create a UI that actually combines them all (still keeping the backend separate data structures though).
This is just my opinion; very curious what others think
