The appointment book design is fully customizable regarding the choice of resources (human and material) and columns (time, occupation, status, appointment category) that can be combined. Each appointment book corresponds to a diary tab that can be quickly activated to move from one context to another, from one work team to another. The order of notebooks within a diary can be customized to group the most frequently used notebooks.
• The presence of a synchronized Kanban console that provides a global view of the clinic at all times, in terms of patients present at the clinic and their stage of treatment (in the waiting room, in the treatment room, at reception for billing). This console enables patients to be moved from one stage of treatment to another with a simple "drag and drop". This console is also fully integrated with the diary's step-by-step time tracking (status) and benefits from the same visual notification capability (flashing) when a scheduled time is exceeded. Linked to the reconciled processing times for each step, the software offers a detailed analysis report by a professional as required.
• Appointment books can be designed for daily, weekly, monthly or specific frequencies, e.g. a view only of Wednesdays each week. The notion of an "Appointment Book" includes several parameters controlling the information displayed: the information displayed in a tooltip on an appointment, the information displayed in the status bar, the information displayed when printing the schedule, the information displayed in the appointment box, the performance indicators in the column headers, etc.

The appointment status allows you to follow the patient's complete progress from when they make an appointment to their arrival at the clinic and treatment. All stages of communication with the patient can be followed in detail: notified, appointment confirmed, etc. Each status also offers the option of activating a visual attribute, such as an appointment flashing, to indicate a missed deadline (delay) on an appointment. An option allows you to move the patient from one stage to another quickly.
• Colour-coding of the priority profile associated with the patient displayed at the appointment booking and appointment box to quickly identify a particular situation. The profile often acts as a visual alarm (medical condition, frequent absence, payment problems, etc.).

These are displayed at the top of each column for quick reference. Among these indicators is the "Average hourly rate", which is strongly linked to an annual pre-budget analysis of revenues per professional. This dynamic information can also be corroborated with the detailed analysis of exploratory times offered by the software.
• Possibility of sending emails to patients from their appointments. The system proposes all the patient's email addresses, family members and caregivers to facilitate shared communication.

• Multi-resource appointment scheduling direct to the appointment card or via the availability search function.
• An availability search function that can be activated in "simple" mode for a single resource or for multi-resource appointment scheduling based on criteria supporting different management needs, e.g. workgroup availability (professionals and equipment), appointments in sequence with or without overlap, validation of the presence of an additional professional in case of need without immediately reserving their schedule, etc. In the case of multi-resource appointments, once the date and time have been confirmed, the schedules of all the resources involved are automatically booked.
• Possibility of integrating the patient's time preferences as complementary criteria to the availability search if they are defined in the patient's file. This approach makes it easier to book several simultaneous appointments for the same patient via the preview panel available in the search results.
• Recurring appointment management with the definition of key parameters (start and end dates, frequency for a period, specific day).
• Appointment comment field with an integrated text editor and the ability to track details of patient communications.

If the reminder was initially defined for a particular resource and/or treatment category, the interactivity between appointments and reminders is even more precise.
• Management of an interactive waiting list, which is constantly validated when appointments are booked or cancelled, in order to propose removal from the list or inclusion on the current waiting list. This feature allows you to define more or less detail by resource, by appointment category and by the clinic, so you can control the level of suggestions (messages) and interactivity you want.

SCHEDULE AND RESOURCE MANAGEMENT

• Each human or material resource has its own schedule (presences, planned absences, by a period of the year, etc.) and independent unit periodicity in minutes. If required, the schedule of a given resource can be consulted and modified directly from the planner. A quick open/close option also enables rapid adjustments to be made to the schedule simply by selecting the relevant time slot.
• Each resource can be associated with a category, which can then be used in an availability search to quickly answer a question such as: "Which professional in specialty X is most readily available to see an emergency patient? The number of categories that can be defined is unlimited. The resource category is also used for analysis and statistics.
• Possibility of categorizing a professional's time slots by treatment category. This ensures that only appointments from the same category can be inserted in the time slot in question.
• Possibility of defining workgroups, which can then be used to search for availability and speed up the scheduling of multi-resource appointments.
• Schedules can be managed by branch. An effective approach for a group of clinics wishing to set up a central appointment scheduling system which uses mobile resources - professionals moving from one clinic to another. Scheduling by branch ensures rigorous resource management to avoid conflicts. A patient's appointment at a given branch can only be booked if the resource's schedule is free for the same branch.
• Absences and attendances can be defined as "Exclusive" or not. The "Exclusive" type for an absence eliminates the time slot concerned from available time slots during an availability search. A presence defined as "Exclusive" for one or more categories will only register appointments with the specified category. It is also possible to define a fixed appointment duration for a presence category (time slot) when it is of the "Exclusive" type.
• Possibility of moving appointments from a resource that announces its absence at the last minute to another resource whose time slot is defined as a "Fixed slot".
