Avatar Appointment Scheduling 2023 Monthly Release 2023.03.00 Details

Avatar has been enhanced to add a field labeled “Preferred Appointment Site” to the patient demographic forms, including Update Client Data, Admission, Admission (Outpatient), Pre-Admit, Pre-Admit Discharge and Discharge forms where demographics may be updated.

When the Preferred Appointment Site is defined for a selected client, the preferred site will override the site selection when the client is selected while adding a new appointment. If the selected practitioner for the appointment does not have hours scheduled for the site, a warning will be presented to the user with the options to keep the previous site or select a different practitioner. If the user chooses to select a different practitioner, the practitioner field on the appointment details will be cleared, allowing the user to select a different staff member. If the user chooses to keep the previous site, the site will remain unchanged and will not utilize the client’s preferred site. If the client's preferred site is not one of the sites selected upon returning to the Calendar, the user will need to select it to see the appointment.
