Clinics

To create a new clinic click on the 'Clinics' tab on the INRstar red navigation bar, if not selected by default click on the 'Manage Clinics tab' on the calendar.

A calendar will then be displayed defaulting to the current week. Clinics can be added on today’s date and in the future. To select a date you can either use the arrows located at the top left of the calendar to skip between weeks or click on the 'Month' button located at the top right of the calendar to switch to month view.
To pick a time for the desired date double click on the time slot and select New Clinic or click the 'Add Clinic' button.

The 'Manage Clinic' page will then be displayed. Enter a clinic name, we recommend that each clinic is given a different name, followed by a clinic date and start/end time.

Select an appointment length (slot length) for each patient appointment within this clinic i.e. 10 minutes. Appointment length can be a minimum of 5 minutes or maximum of 60 minutes. If your preferred appointment length is less than 5 minutes, say 2 minutes for example, we recommend that 2 patients are added to a 5 minute slot.

If you wish the clinic to repeat weekly for the selected day of the week click the checkbox named ‘Repeat clinic every…’. If you wish the clinic to repeat every week with no end date select the No end date option, if you wish the clinic to repeat weekly until a certain date i.e. 6 months in the future select the End by option and select a date.

When you have added all the required information click the 'Save' button to save the clinic or click the 'Cancel' button to discard the changes.

Each clinic shows the clinic name, and the Appointment slots booked out of the available appointment slots. If the clinic does not start or end on an exact hour, the clinic’s run-time is also shown.

The Print Appointment List is a summary of the clinic, i.e. clinic name, date, start time, total booked appointments and total treated appointments, and a list of the patients with appointments within that clinic.

The Status tells you whether this appointment was:
