Using Staff Info: Automatic Staff Assignments
Add a patient to a Staff caseload simply by completing a Patient Contact Record.
About Configuring Automatic Staff Assignments
Clinics often look for efficient ways to track their employees' Staff Assignments. One way to help save time is by setting up Automatic Staff Assignments. With an Automatic Staff Assignment, you no longer need to assign staff manually to each patient's demographic record. Instead, when a patient has an appointment with a staff member, the patient is automatically added to their caseload (assigned). Eliminate the need to manually type up to 10 critical fields by automatically inserting the data directly into Staff Assignments.
