Practice Management Software Demonstration
When a patient calls in for an appointment, the operator can look at available appointment times for one provider, an entire clinic area or all offices. In our example, five physicians in a clinic area are displayed above the appointments times.
Search begins with today's date.
Time slots are user defined. Our example shows four 15 minute appointments per hour.
Daily starting and ending times are user defined.
To book an appointment, simply select an open time slot and enter part of the patient name. A scan look-up window opens where you can select the correct patient. Then, proceed to entering a reason for the appointment.
Reason codes are user defined. They include a default appointment time length which can be overridden (i.e. default new patient appointment of 30 minutes can be easily lengthened to 45 minutes).
Scheduling Patient Appointments
Color is used to differentiate appointment types allowed at different times of the day. For example, a physician may want to see new patients between 2:00 and 3:30 on Wednesdays and Thursdays. An operator will need clearance to override that setting.
By default, each time slot allows one overbook. The system allows for custom requests by physician, thereby allowing unlimited overbooking for one physician while another may want a restriction for no overbooking.
There is also room for messages (i.e. xray required prior to physician visit). If the patient's insurance requires a referral, the system will notify the operator in the message bar.
A field is also included for the initials of the operator who booked the appointment. This can be helpful when questions arise.
