Overview

To keep track of clinic resources such as rooms and instruments, you can create resource types and resources in Blueprint OMS, to associate with event types and events respectively. When an event type is set to have a required resource type, then users will not be able to create events of that type without also reserving a resource of the required type from the event's location. By default, resources cannot be double-booked; this gives clinic a safeguard against double-booking resources.

Setting up resource types

At Setup > Scheduling > Resource types, you will find the list of resource types in your system. Here, users with the Maintain resource types user privilege will be able to create, edit, and deactivate resource types.

Note

In a given location, different resources of the same type will be equally good for satisfying an event type's resource type requirement. If the "Hearing test" event type, for example, requires "Sound booth" as a resource type, and "Sound booth 1" and "Sound booth 2" are "Sound booth"-type resources, then a user will be create a hearing test event by reserving either Sound booth 1 or Sound booth 2.

For this reason, it is not recommended to have a resource type for "Other"; if "Verifit 1" and "Consultation room 1" are both "Other"-type resources, they will be equally good for satisfying the "Other" resource type requirement for an appointment type. This is not helpful for keeping track of resource requirements and for avoiding double-booking or resources.
