Overview

The in clinic monitor allows you to view who currently in your clinic. When a patient arrives for their appointment you can mark them as Arrived and they can begin filling out paperwork. Once the patient is done filling out paperwork you can mark the patient as Ready. If they do not have paper work to fill out you can mark the patient as Arrived & Ready. This will automatically track how early or late the patient was for their appointment. Under the patient summary tab it will show you their statistics. A message is sent to the provider's computer notifying them of their patient's arrival. They have the option to let you know if they are on their way, need 5 minutes, running behind or they can type back their own custom message to you. The response they give will come back to the front office.

Once the provider has started the appointment with the patient you can right click on the appointment and mark it In progress. This will reset the timer and start tracking how long the appointment lasts. 

When the provider brings the patient back to the front office you can right click on the appointment and mark the appointment as Completed. This will allow you to run the Appointment Analysis report to see statistics on your appointments.
