The Scheduling Module is a central hub to manage all clinic activities within Medgate’s Occupational Health Software Suite. This dynamic on-line appointment calendar enables organisations to run an efficient occupational health clinic through the automation of clinic scheduling activities.
Key Benefits of the Scheduling Module:
This module will enable occupational health clinics to:
- Efficiently manage schedules with daily, weekly, or master views to oversee multiple practitioner schedules at once; this function can also be used to manage exam room and medical equipment schedules
- Grant different schedule access to practitioners and non-practitioners
- Link directly to the relevant clinic activity record from within the schedule, with auto-population of the patient’s demographic data
- Connect directly with the Surveillance Recalls module to effectively manage all employee medical and educational surveillance activities
- Allow users to add schedules to their personalised medical dashboard with direct links to the clinic activity
- Run effective scheduling reports
How does the Scheduling Module Work?
The features of this module fall into three groups:
Managing Schedules and Appointments
- Allow each scheduling user to set up their available times, for each health center in which they work; easily change scheduling availability for those practitioners with a rotating schedule
- Define the intervals at which you would like to see the practitioner’s availability (i.e.: 30 minutes, 10 minutes, one hour, etc.); you can schedule appointments over multiple intervals
- View the status of the appointment at-a-glance with color-coded attendance statuses (i.e.: failed to show, late, re-scheduled, complete, etc.)
- Easily mitigate double-bookings with visual notification on the schedule (i.e.: the appointment turns red if it there is a conflict)
- Create appointments directly within the practitioner’s on-line schedule and select whether you would like to view the schedule by activity or employee name
- Tight integration between modules ensures that activity status is automatically marked as completed if the activity was completed in another module (i.e.: Audiometric Testing Module)
- Gain quick details on the appointment by hovering over the appointment in the schedule to view special notes associated with the appointment
- View all of the past and currently scheduled appointments for an employee, as well as all his/her surveillance activities and exposure group clearances
- Define a recurrence for an appointment; the schedule will automatically be populated with the recurring appointments
- Send e-mail appointment notifications to the employee; the employee can ‘accept’ and it will be automatically added to their Microsoft Outlook or Lotus Notes calendar
- Access your to-do list on the same screen as your daily schedule for efficient management of upcoming tasks
- Schedule reminders for appointments that will display on your / the practitioner’s to-do list
