Adding Departure List appointments to Short Notice List (v11.3)

(from EXACT version 11.3 onwards)

To add an appointment to the Short Notice List directly from the Departure List

The procedure here is to book the Patient as normal in the Appointment Book, but also to add the appointment to the Short Notice List.

1. If the Provider has not already specified it, ask the patient if they want the appointment to be added to the Short Notice List, to have it as soon as possible.
2. If the answer is YES, check (select) Add to short notice list.

   

3. To confirm, check that this patient appointment now appears on the Fill Appointment Gaps screen or the Short Notice List tab.
4. Click the 1st Avail hyperlink to display the first available slot in the Appointment Book.

   

   When the available slot displays, drag the Appointment into the Appointment Book.

   

Summary: If Short Notice gaps prove suitable, this patient will have an appointment at short notice, otherwise they will revert to an appointment as booked in the Appointment Book.
