Calendar

To reach Calendar topics, click on Main -> Calendar
You will see three sections.
A. Anesthesiology Calendar
This section is useful to Ambulatory Surgical Centers. If you click on Anesthesiology Calendar, you will see a Anesthesiology scheduling screen. This will allow you to set the dates when anesthesia providers are present at the Surgery Center. This is useful if a surgeon has a preference for a specific anesthesia provider. Operations booked by a specific surgeon can then be scheduled on the day when the desired anesthesia provider is present.
B. Daily Appointments
This section is useful for printing a provider's schedule. If you click on "Daily Appointments", you will be taken to a screen that allows you to enter the date of the calendar and the name of provider whose schedule you would like to display. After you have chosen the date and the name of the provider, click on "Select Provider". This will display the schedule in an easily printable format. The schedule includes the date, time, account number, patient name, age, gender, DOB, provider, home phone and work phone. This is the only calendar that displays all of this information.
C. Group Calendar
If you click on Group Calendar, you will be taken to the calendar of the group that was chosen on the login screen. This daily calendar displays the calendar of all of the members in the group. This calendar is useful for staff members to determine office flow patterns on and to determine when office time is available for a particular provider.
To change the time of an appointment that day or to change the provider who the patient will see that day, put the mouse on the blank space to right of the word "Move" and then drag the appointment to the desired location.
To change the date and time of the appointment to another day, click on the word "Move". This will take you to another screen where you can chose the desired date of the appointment. Then click on the desired time of the appointment. This will take you to another screen where you can change the note attached to the appointment and then you can click on "Confirm Booking" to set the appointment.
You can also book an appointment from this calendar. If you click on an open slot, you will be taken to a screen that allows you to chose the name of the patient and an associated appointment template. You have to choose a previously created template or the appointment won't be created properly. The creation of templates is discussed in the section "Appointment Templates" found by going to Main -> Support Data -> Appointment Templates.
On this same screen, you can also choose to book non-patient related activities such as travel (the default), staff meetings, etc. First choose the activity and then click on the length of time to create this type of appointment.
