Managing Patient Locations in the iPad App
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.
This topic covers how
To change a patient's location
- Open the patient's chart.
- Tap Select Room on the patient header.
-
Select the room the patient is in from the drop-down list.
The patient's location is updated, and the room they're in replaces the Select Room button. To move the patient again, tap the button once more.
If a particular room is not showing up, it may already be occupied by another patient.
To indicate that a patient has left the office
- Open the patient's chart.
-
Tap the room button on the patient header.
- Select Clear Room from the drop-down list.
- Select the check bubble for the reason the patient is leaving.
- Tap Save.
A patient's location can also be changed from the OfficeFlow screen by tapping Change Room.
