Shows you "everything-at-a-glance", all providers can be seen on the one screen
Different providers can have different appointment lengths; appointments can be set up on a daily, weekly and monthly cycle per provider. They can be customised to meet your exact needs, even if each day has a different appointment requirement. Existing appointments can be shortened, lengthened or allocated to a different provider using drag and drop.
Defining roles for users can prevent unauthorised users from tampering with rosters/schedules
Double booking can be done quickly and is easy to see on-screen
Different types of appointments can be colour coded
"Discreet labels" or colour codes can be used to define patients (eg: elderly, x-ray to pick up)
The use of customisable shortcuts can reduce the number of keystrokes and eliminate the need for a mouse to make the reception desk function as efficiently as possible.
Screens can be simplified for the user (eg: just show invoicing and appointments)
