¨ (MM, 5.3 Appointments, 9 Scan for No Show Appointment)

Mark No Show Appointments

After all appointments for the day are Checked In, the remaining patients on the schedule are probably considered a no-show. Users should run this program to mark these appointments as No Shows. This serves three purposes:

1. The patient’s appointment history will display a No Show for today’s appointment
2. The patients charge slip will be marked as Void.
3. It is important to properly “Check In” appointments including with properly assigning “census reasons”. “No Show” is a census reason. This allows for improved use of the CENSUS REPORTS, which are inaccurate if staff fails to properly check in and assign census reasons.

Select #9 from Appointment Main Menu.
