Appointment 'Book(s)' enhance the ability to make appointments that are not directly related to the Provider.  They are often used for Nurse treatment lists or Equipment bookings.  In a Hospital environment, a book is normally created for each operating room, i.e. Theatre 1, Theatre 2 etc.

These will not show as booked against the User or Specialist on the Appointment tab and are ideally suited to appointments for patients with a nurse, technician or research assistant. Care should be taken when setting the books up to ensure the correct use for your practice. Please ring Incisive for clarification if you are unsure how their use is best suited to your practice. In a Hospital environment, a book is normally created for each operating room, i.e. Theatre 1, Theatre 2 etc.

The books derive appointment codes and sessions type from a primary user. In a multi user/specialist practice, it would be beneficial to have a practice user set up. Please contact Incisive Software for this.

The 'Books' do not replace the current method of making bookings for a Provider - they are supplementary to this.
