The CSC Patient Appointments Scheduler

When a patient calls and forgot when they have an appointment, with a paper system, you have to search through all of the pages. With this system, one click displays past and future appointments.  Another click will take you to the appointment so you can change or cancel if needed.

How Does It Help?

Doctors can get a report showing their work day and the patients that are expected along with the problems. They can also block their own time so that appointments won’t be made for vacation, meeting or other times.

A scheduled appointment is the first step in the encounter sequence. Some patients won’t show, but patients who arrive are the second step in the process, which now starts to be documented if you use The Physician’s Paperless Office®. When the doctor is ‘done’ with the patient, the billing information is sent to the billing system and the appointment is ‘closed’ to history. Clinical information is stored along with appointment information on the encounter. So, the appointment is an important part of the documentation and is the first step in the encounter. This system helps manage your appointments, resources, while preparing for the encounter cycle.

What Is It Integrated With?
