Managing Patient Locations

By managing your patients' locations using OfficeFlow, you can keep track of how long they've been in a particular room. Managing patient locations also enables you to quickly identify rooms in your practice that are either occupied or available to be filled. Before you can manage a patient's location, you'll need to map out your office's various rooms within administration. For more information on creating rooms, watch this video tutorial.
