Options!

First of all, thanks for all the comments and suggestions concerning our new scheduler. Because we have implemented some of these suggestions, we thought we'd summarize what we (Solomon, mostly) have done so far.

By now, everybody has had a chance to see the hover box that appears when the cursor is placed over the patient's name:


 
Note we have added Payor and co-pay information at the bottom of the box, as well as adding a ¾ second pause before the box appears. (for AuroraEHR users, this will instead be a list of tasks needing completion). As mentioned in a system announcement, if your practice does not want this box, please let us know via the Feedback screen.

If your practice sees all patients at single locations, you can speed up the Week View and Multi-Provider View by suppressing the Location columns. This will immediately give the scheduling screen a neater look, provide more room for displaying patient names or appointment reasons, and will noticeably speed up performance. If you want to do this, please let us know via the Feedback screen.

In release 11.30, both these items will become scheduling options which you can set yourself.

But wait, there's more! There are also three new items on the "mini-menu" obtained by right-clicking on a given appointment on the scheduler:

Account Registration:


Selecting this option will open up a new Account Registration window for the patient.

 Account Images:
 

This option will provide a list of images associated with the patient, such as in this screenshot:
 
 
If you are wondering why we have an image of a mouse it's because we follow HIPAA privacy rules and regulations at all times!

Last but not necessarily least is the Account Documents option:


Similar in scope and purpose to the Account Images option, selecting this option will provide access to documents associated with the patient.

If you have other ideas or questions, please use the comment feature on this post.

That’s it for now!
