The Atlas Software also has two options for automatically assigning Patients to a specific Table or Room. This will help direct Patients with special requests or specific Appointment Types to Tables, enabling a smooth flow in the office.
• Patient Specific: to configure a specific Patient to a specific Table or Room on each visit, access that Patients’ profile. Notice the option near the lower, left corner ‘Always Call To:’ – click on that to open the selection window.
Click on the desired Table (Room) from the menu – only one Table or Room can be selected for a Patient. This option will be effective each time the Patient signs-in:
NOTE: The Patient will be called to the selected Table based on availability. The Patient may be called after other Patients (out of order) if the Table (Room) is not available.
• Appointment Type: to configure Atlas to direct Patients to a specific Table (Room) when they arrive for a specific Appointment Type, navigate into the Appointment Type setup.
In the Appointment Types screen click on ‘First Available’ under the Call To: column. Choose the desired Table (Room) to have Atlas automatically direct Patients to when they Sign-In
for the specified Appointment.
NOTE: The Patient will be called to the selected Table based on availability. The Patient may be called after other Patients (out of order) if the Table (Room) is not available.
