Appointment Status

Each appointment has its own status.        

The Status of an appointment is initially assigned when the appointment is made i.e. it will either be a 'Patient Appointment' or a 'Non-patient Appointment', depending on whether or not a matching patient record has been found and linked to the appointment. The Status of an appointment is reflected in the colour of the text rather than the background colour. For example the default colour for a Patient appointment is Black, a non-patient appointment is Brown.

When the patient is added to the Waiting Room by clicking on the Coffee Cup  icon,  the status is automatically changed to 'In Waiting Room'.

The seven status items which are installed with Genie are used by the program for various tasks, and therefore cannot be deleted.

You can modify the original seven’s colours, and add or delete any new items you wish by selecting 'Modify' in the Status popup menu. This window behaves in the same way as the Type window (see Appointment Types).
