Time Ask to Arrive
In the Appointments Module, double click on a Scheduled Appointment.
In the middle, is the Time Ask to Arrive field. Enter the time you want the patient to arrive in 00:00 format.
Using this method, the early arrival time only affects a single appointment. This can be useful for new patients who need to fill out paperwork prior to the appointment.
In the patient's Edit Patient Information, enter Ask To Arrive Early in the highlighted area.
Using this method, every time an appointment for the patient is scheduled, a popup will notify you of the early arrival time and the Time Ask to Arrive field on the Edit Appointment window will automatically populate with the Ask to Arrive Early value. For example, if a patient is scheduled for a 9:00 AM appointment, the popup will prompt you to ask the patient to arrive at 8:45 AM.
Ask to Arrive Early: Enter the length of time, in minutes, you want the patient to arrive early.
Same for entire family: Check this box to apply the early arrival time to everyone in the patient's family.
This can be useful for patients who typically arrive late to appointments.
