Tips:

• You can use Amend Schedule to change the following information in the Appointment Book Area:

• Appointment Type for Time Slots.
  Example:  You can block off time, such as meeting or vacation time, for a provider.  If the provider becomes available, you can change the type to allow patient appointments, such as for office visits.

• Appointment Location for Time Slots:
  Example:  If the provider will be performing rounds at the hospital instead of seeing patients in the office, you can change the location for the time slots to the hospital.

• How to handle appointments affected by the amendment.
  Example:  If you change some reserved time slots to a type that does not allow appointments, such as for meetings, you can direct INSight to put the affected appointments on the reschedule list.

• Extended Day Information:

• Add new time slots to the beginning of the day.
  Example:  The provider plans to come in earlier than usual.

• Add new time slots to the end of the day.
  Example:  The provider plans to work later than usual.

• Multiple Providers:
  Example:  You can amend the Appointment Type, Appointment Location, or length of day for one or more providers at a time.

• Amending is a multiple step process.  First you launch Amend Schedule, then set the parameters of the amend, and finally Perform Amend.  Depending on the type of information you are changing, you will see different prompts.  For additional information, see Scheduling - Amend Layout Step-By-Step Examples.

• When the amend is complete, you can display and print a report summarizing the changes.

• To see a list of time slots, see the Daily Schedule Report and the Daily Appointment Report.
