Hi Trish, 

I'll start with #3... Go to process resource or resource group, edit, and then 
edit the person's schedule there. You can give the staff access to that on the 
verb strip without giving them the dictionaries. I wouldn't edit it the way you 
are doing it now. You want to leave the dictionaries alone and only edit for 
consistent, more permanent changes not vacations and days off.  

#1...On page 1 of your appt type dictionary, did you put a Y or N to the 
following question?
     Use The Same Resources When Booking A Series? Y
     This should then prompt you to create a series. When you book an appt, it 
would pop up and say "create series for this patient" and you say yes. Then you 
get to the next screen to allow how you want the series to fall, daily, weekly, 
same time,....

#2... I am not sure how you are trying to schedule the appts since you should 
be able to book a patient for more than one but in separate steps.

If you have any questions, please feel free to call and maybe I can help.

Thanks, Sandi

Subject: [MEDITECH-L] Scheduling

Hi everyone.  Have another (three) questions for you smart people.  

We have currently been 'parallel' scheduling in the physical therapy department 
for about a month.  Everything has been working well.  The bugs we found we 
were able to be worked out.  The problem is:  the secretary there in that 
department that has been doing all the scheduling is relocating to the Human 
Resources department so she won't be scheduling anymore.  With this, we have to 
'train' the physical therapy staff to know how to schedule.  There are 'tricks' 
that the secretary and I can do that we're unable to show the staff d/t access. 
 These are the things I'm having trouble with:
        1.  Currently, we are unable to schedule an appointment series beyond 1 
week.  The 
              secretary and I are even having trouble.  We have FULL access are 
not even able 
                    to do this.  What are we doing wrong?  Is there something 
in the dictionary that I 
                    have set up wrong?
        2.  When we schedule an appointment for a patient, we may have a couple 
of 
              different tests or procedures that we need to schedule.  Example: 
 A patient is 
              booked for a PT appointment, but needs a Speech appointment as 
well.  These are 
              two different resource groups, and the system will not allow us 
to schedule two 
              different appointments with two different resource's.  Any ideas 
here?
        3.  The secretary at the time was able to change the PT staffs 
schedules around to  
                    show when they had a day off, had vacation, etc.  She would 
go into the 
                    Resources/Schedule Dictionaries and into Resource Schedules 
to edit.  I can't give 
                    the PT staff access to the dictionaries, so is there 
another place they can go to 
                    change their Schedules according to their days off, 
vacations, etc.?

I hope I've explained this correctly.  If not, please feel free to ask.  I 
appreciate, as always, Any help anyone is able to give.
Thanks!
