Appointment Type

For different kinds of appointments, you can build masters. You can predefine the appointment's duration, designate if it will be an inpatient visit, and choose colors to distinguish between various appointment types for analysis using the appointment type feature.

1. How to Create an Appointment Type

To Create an Appointment Type, go to:

Home > Healthcare > Consultation Setup > Appointment Type

1. Type it in.
2. If the Appointments made using this Type will be utilized for IPD, check the "Is Inpatient" box.
3. Configure the Default Duration (In Mins) so that it is automatically set when the appointment type is chosen in the patient appointment.
4. Each Appointment Type can also have a different color set.

You can distinguish between appointments of a specific category in the Calendar view by using color.
