Record the arrival of a booked patient
Mark a patient who has an appointment today as arrived, which opens their visit for readings and a note.
- Where
- Practice phone app
- Who can do this
- Administrator, Doctor, Midwife, Nurse, Reception and Staff
A patient booked for today sits under Not arrived yet on Today until somebody records that they have come. Do it as they reach you, so the list shows who is really in the building.
Steps
- On Today, scroll to Not arrived yet.
- Tap the patient. Their chart opens.
- Tap the button that starts Record arrival. It shows the time they were booked for.
What to expect
The patient's visit opens straight away, with the time they arrived at the top, ready for readings and a note. The arrival is saved on the phone first and sent to the practice, like everything else you record here.
