Getting started with the Appointment Book

The appointment book workflow for Bp VIP.net covers all of the events from adding a new patient and booking an appointment through to processing payment by the patient.

Front desk staff within the practice usually perform the majority of appointment-related duties using the Appointment book, which provides an overview of all appointments for the practice.

From the appointment book, you can open the Waiting room, which shows the patients who have been arrived by the front desk and are waiting or have already had their consultation.

Before you can use the appointment book at your practice, you need to configure Bp VIP.net to suit your practice. Appointment book setup may have already been completed as part of your Bp VIP.net deployment. If so, you can start with Working in the Appointment Book.

Setting up the appointment book requires:

  1. Set the appointment book defaults for your practice.
  2. Set up the appointment book, page-owners, and provider rosters.
  3. Set up staging for the Waiting Room.

When booking appointments, you can:

  1. Work from the appointment book to add new patients, book, search for, move, and cancel appointments.
  2. Print surgery and general appointment day sheets for providers.
  3. Stage patients from arrival to billing. The Waiting Room shows the stage of each patient who has been arrived.
  4. Work from the Waiting List: move patients waiting for surgery to a free appointment slot.
