ChartLogic has added the ability for New patients to schedule appointments straight from the Practices website or landing page of their choosing. Patients will select the desired appointment time and enter base demographics to get the information over to the ChartLogic application.
NOTE: Please reach out to support if you would like this functionality enabled. Support will give the practice the designated URL.
Once enabled, Practice admin will need to configure appointment types and schedule blocks.
Configuring appointment types:
Within the left pane menu options, select Configuration>Scheduling>Appointment Types
Select either an existing appointment type or create a new appointment type with the desired settings and ensure that the checkbox next to Self Registration Appointment Type is selected and click Save.
Configuring a Schedule block:
From the left menu pane, select Scheduling>New Appointment
Select a resource. Only resources that have assigned schedule blocks will be listed in the self scheduling application.
From the Purpose dropdown, select Schedule Block
Once Schedule Block is selected new fields will display that will need to be filled out
