Request Doctor in Patient Flow
Is your patient waiting with cheek retractors and you need the doctor right away? You can request the doctor in Patient Flow!
- Open Patient Flow; go to Utilities > Patient Flow or press Command Shift F.
- Find your patient; if they are not already seated in a chair, click and drag their appointment to place them in a chair.
- Select the assistant from the dropdown menu.
- Right-click over the patient's name in the chair and select either Request Doctor or Urgently Request Doctor:
- Request Doctor will display the doctor's icon over the appointment. It will be still for one minute, and then it will start to revolve.
- Urgently Request Doctor will display the doctor's icon over the appointment. It will revolve and jump up and down.
- Once the doctor has seen the patient, the assistant can right-click over the appointment and select Cancel Request from the dropdown menu.
The icon that appears will be for the doctor who is assigned to the patient's appointment; this may not necessarily be the patient's assigned doctor.
