Schedule setup more flexible
Allow office hours, provider hours, and time blocks to be set up with multipe start and end dates for varying schedules throughout the year. Need ability to have different office and provider hours during different times of the year without changing the whole year or having to manually edit the office schedule for each day. Set hours by date range or day in range. Set time blocks to start as of a future date. Allow to close the office for a date range rather than selecting each day individually. Or specific days in a date range. More flexibility in the… more

Clear time blocks for just one day or operatory. [3955 151963]

Sort appointment lists and print sorted from lists
Provide options to sort the appointment list, operatory list, unscheduled list, or ASAP list and to be able to print out the sorted list. Would sort alphabetically on patient last name, guarantor last name, date, operatory, provider, etc. This would enable the practice to see if a patient was listed more than once. Essentially, would like to be able to click on any column heading and have the list sort by that column. Would like the ability to exclude certain columns from printing. Print the complete description and appointment note. Provide more information on the lists and options to sort… more

Track patient visit with appt status for wait time, etc.
Have a "stop watch" to show exactly how long an appointment has taken. Start a timer when a patient shows up for an appointment, so that at any time, the user can see how long a patient's visit has taken so far, with a sub-time for each phase of the visit (reception, operatory, waiting, etc.). Elapsed time for each phase of the visit. Break the time down by location to know how long the patient is waiting in the waiting room, how long in the operatory, how long getting x-rays, etc. Show the physical location of the patient on the… more

Include surfaces with description
Would like the description field in the Appointment Book to automatically pull in the surfaces as well as the tooth number and procedure description, so it can be viewed on the appointment without opening it. If the treatment area is a quadrant, sextant or arch, that should also display on the appointment. [2433]

Limit scrolling to display only hours per practice schedule
Limit the scrolling for the Appointment Book View to only display the hours that the office is actually open (i.e. not be able to scroll to 12:00 am, if the office is open 8:00-5:00 only have the view scroll from 8:00-5:00)--unless there is an appointment scheduled outside of the hours. Should have an option to be scrolled to the current time of day whenever the Appointment Book is opened or refreshed.
