Appointments


Introduction

In this section, we will look at how to check and take booked appointments. Once an appointment is booked, it is pushed into the service queue and can be found by navigating to the appointments section.

Here you can view all the booked appointments. Basic information about the appointment is displayed i.e., the type of appointment, the patient names, the appointment status, the clinic the appointment is associated with, the staff who booked the appointment and the date and time it is scheduled for.

Filter Appointments

You can filter the appointments by status and/or clinic the appointments are associated with, with dropdowns at the top of the screen. There are three different statuses an appointment can be in:

  • Pending -> These are booked appointments that are yet to be taken.
  • Progressing -> These are appointments that have been taken by a clinician in the associated clinic and are currently in progress.
  • Complete -> These are appointments that have been completed successfully.
