Outlining to be introduced into Scheduling...

With the upcoming standard billing release we will see some long awaited new features implemented into Scheduling. One of the new features allows you to define Outlines that will assist staff in scheduling the correct type of appointment for the defined day/time slot. For example, if you want all of your new patient appointments to be scheduled between 8am and 10am on a Monday, you can define that in Scheduling and assign it a color that will show up on the Scheduler.

Below is a screen shot of Scheduling showing a New Patient outline between 8am and noon. It also shows Surgeries between 1pm and 3pm and then Follow Ups between 3pm and 5pm.

Note that Outlining doesn't prevent staff from scheduling appointments before, during, or after any of those times, it's quiet simply a guideline to help staff correctly schedule an appointment into the desired available time slots.

This new feature will be released with the standard billing release of SOAPware.
