The S button located to the left of any provider's name on the schedule will load a window to Search For Next Available Appointment:
Please note that this feature is dependent on the provider having a Schedule Template assigned to them so that the system knows when the provider is scheduled to work, and when they're scheduled off
You can check out how to create and assign Schedule Templates HERE.
The new window will load to complete a Search:
The Provider will load as the name of the Provider that was beside the S that was clicked. This is still a drop down, so an alternate provider's name can be selected, as well as the option of ALL Providers:
Next, the day of the week needs to be selected, or it can be set to Any Weekday:
The time range for the Search needs to be set:
The next search parameter is dependent on the Schedule Template, and you can specify a particular Template Code, such as C for Consult, or P for Phone Time, etc...
Alternately, it can also be set to Any Type to search for all types on the provider schedule:
Lastly, the number of appointments that will load can be increased from the displayed 3 to 10:
Once all the parameters have been set, the Search button can be used to load those options.
In this example we're searching for provider Lisa May and the Schedule Template code T for Therapy:
This has loaded 10 results over the next month on the schedule.
Once a date and time is confirmed with the patient, that result can be clicked to open the Make An Appointment window:
From the Make An Appointment window, the patient can be searched, and Appointment Type or Status can be assigned and Add Appointment.
Once added, that Result will be removed from the Search Next Available Appointment window, and replaced with a new option to book any additional appointments:
