Calling System
The patient calling system lets you display, on a screen in the waiting room, the appointment and name of the patient being called.
How it works
The calling system has three display modes:
Patient being called
When a patient is called, the screen shows:
- Appointment number in large text (e.g.: "Appointment 3").
- Patient name.
- Location of the office.
YouTube video
When no patients are being called, it shows the YouTube video configured in the Waiting room.
Waiting screen
If there is no video configured and no patient being called, it shows the text "Waiting room".
Call a patient
You can call a patient from the appointment list:
- Go to Calendar > Appointments.
- In the current day's appointments with status Waiting, click the Call icon (megaphone) of the desired appointment.
- The calling system screen will show the patient automatically.
Tip
Open the Calling system page on a screen or TV in the waiting room so patients can see when they are called.
Requirements
- The calling system feature must be enabled on your account.
- The appointment must be from the current day and in Waiting status to be able to call the patient.
