Sometimes patients’ regularly scheduled appointment times must change…Changes to work schedules, office hours and more force these changes. It would be very labor intensive to manually move all of a patients’ appointments, so Atlas includes a simple (but powerful) appointment moving option.
To use this tool, navigate into the Appointment Mapping screen and click the ‘Move all Appointments’ button at the bottom middle area of the screen.
The Move Appointments screen is designed to read like a paragraph.
Move appointments on…[any day : alternatively you can choose a specific day from the drop down]…at …[choose a specific time or use the variable ‘a’ for anytime on the day chosen in the previous box]…with…[choose the Provider desired]
Between…[choose a specific starting date or ‘Today’]…and…[choose an ending date : this defaults to the patients last scheduled appointment date]
To…[choose day to move appointments to : you can choose ‘today’ to move within the same day]…at…[choose the time to move appointments to or use the variable ‘a’ for anytime on the day chosen in the previous box]…with…[choose the provider desired]
Once complete, click MOVE APPOINTMENTS to start the move process or click RESET if you have made errors
CANCEL will exit the screen without saving any changes
DELETE ALL FUTURE APPOINTMENTS will delete all of the patients’ future appointments
EXIT will save the changes and exit the screen
