Configure Scheduling
The Appointment Book is a powerful scheduling tool that is fast, easy to use, and provides pediatric-specific features that help your practice master its schedule.
How do you mark a doctor as off for today, and where do I enter their vacation days? How do you change their well visits to 15 minutes? Can you limit scheduling permissions for certain users? How do you update your practice's calendar, or a single clinician's calendar, with hours that are appropriate for the season? Can you open up the calendar month by month?
