Hello Amazing Charts PM users,
We highly recommend using ACPM scheduler to book appointments for your Practice as it is more robust and provides many additional features as described below:
? Ability to color code many facets of the schedule which is not available in AC
? The schedule template can be customized per practice, provider and resource both for time slots, days and display whereas all time slots for all users have to be the same length in AC.
? The schedule can be changed easily to accommodate vacations and other exceptions unlike in AC
? Ability to schedule a resource (room, equip, etc.) without the workaround of creating (as in AC) a dummy user
? Customize view templates to view desired patient details when they are booked in a slot
? Ability to see eligibility response details from schedule for each patient and recheck on demand it if desired, not available in AC
? Easy Check in/Check out process ? launch patients charts right from appointment by right clicking to review/edit demographics, add patient copay and also can double click on appointment to add/edit note, mark checked in/seen/or missed.
? When booking an appointment you can associate the patient, location, reason, date, time referral, prior authorization, account the bill will be linked to if the patient has more than one account, and a note field whereas when appointment is booked in AC only provider is linked
? The note field information will populate the CC when the chart is pull from the AC schedule to begin the visit.
? Recurring appointments for the same patient can be booked from the book appointment screen easily as opposed to AC
? A robust search appointment screen to find the next available appointment matching your search criteria unlike AC
? Individual time slots can be expanded by dragging the appointment to a new end time which can?t be done in AC
? Once appointments are booked then can be seen in the manage appointment screen and the patients chart, manage appointment screen is not available in AC
? Manage appointment screen allows you to view chart, check eligibility, open the chart, and show the status for the appointment (booked, cancelled, checked in, seen or missed) - not available in AC
? There are many reports in ACPM that are tied to the appointment information
? Appointments can easily be rescheduled to a new time on the same day by dragging and dropping or for up to 3 years in the future by double clicking the appointment to see more options.
Hope the above helps you to fully utilize the scheduling feature in ACPM.
