Appointment book

With your appointment book at the heart of your reception team, we understand how minor changes can make big improvements. The short notice list is a valuable tool when it comes to filling white space and has received a couple of updates.

📆 The puzzle icon is now displayed in the first column of the patient appointment window if the appointment is listed in the short notice list.
📆 In addition to this, the appointment information window now displays if an appointment is on the short notice list.
📆 A new column has been added to the short notice list, displaying a patients payor information and includes the option to sort the order or payors.
📆 The contact methods in the short notice list are now interactive, this means that users can send an email or SMS and access the call patient feature from the short notice list for patients on the list.
