You are able to link an appointment session to a particular facility. This is to enable form letters regarding a patient's admission to be printed directly from the appointment book bringing through the relevant information about the facility (hospital) and the appointment.
We also have the facility to fax operating lists directly from the program to the hospitals. It is therefore important that all relevant information is collected regarding the hospital facilities that are used.
