Introduction
This article explains how to assign a previously created examination room to a doctor's calendar entries within the system. Setting up the room correctly is essential for smooth patient management, as this information is required for patient arrival processes and the correct functioning of patient display screens.
During this setup, the system links the doctor's consultation hours with the physical location, ensuring that every appointment is tied to a specific room.
Setting Up the Room in the Calendar
To assign an examination room, follow these steps:
Navigate to the Calendar menu from the main dashboard.
Open the Calendar view.
Select and edit the doctor's consultation time or appointment.
In the settings window, locate the room selection field (default status: "No room selected").
Select the appropriate room from the dropdown list (e.g., "Room 1").
Click the Save button.
The system will ask about the scope of the change. Select the option to apply the setting to future occurrences (e.g., apply for every week) if the doctor regularly works in this room.
After saving, the selected room number will appear under every open consultation time for that doctor in the calendar.
Tips
Verification: After saving the settings, it is recommended to double-check calendar entries for upcoming weeks to ensure the system has assigned the room to all recurring appointments.
Consistency: If the doctor always works in the same room, always use the "apply for every week" option to minimize manual work.
Summary
This function links the doctor's calendar to a physical examination room.
The setting is accessed within the Calendar menu by editing the appointment.
Changes should be applied to recurring appointments for efficiency.
