We are a CS 5.5.2 site and we use Community Wide Scheduling for our Physical Medicine Department. We use our therapists as resources We do not use the Series appointment function to schedule our patients for multiple appointments. We use Process Appointment Book function and schedule one treatment and then copy and paste the rest of the appointments to the other days and time. We also use the Process Appointment Book routine to edit the therapist schedule also. We go to the Edit button and make any changes for that day or any other that needs any changes. We only go to the Resource Schedule dictionary for permanent changes that need to be made to the schedule.
I hope this helps -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Barnoski Trish Sent: Thursday, January 18, 2007 10:17 AM To: [email protected] 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!
