Recurring Appointments

Schedule recurring appointments for a patient.

About this task

After recurring appointments are created, they become individual appointments. They can't be managed as a group of recurring appointments.

Procedure

Schedule the appointment as usual.
Either:
- Select the appointment you want to make recurring.
- Select Appointment > Add Recurring Appointment
- Right-click the appointment and select Add Recurring Appointment.
In the Add/Repeat Recurring Appointment window, the original practitioner will be selected in the Practitioner list. You can select another practitioner if appropriate.
In the From and To fields, select the start and end date for the period of recurring appointments.
In the Every fields, specify how often you want the appointments to recur, for example, every two weeks.
Click Process. The Appointment List section displays a list of recurring appointments. If possible, recurring appointments are scheduled for the same time slot or the next available time slot as the original appointment.
To delete a specific appointment from the list of recurring appointments, select it and click Delete.

Tip:
You can select only one appointment at a time.

Results

The recurring appointments are created as individual appointments.
