Reserving a time slot

 

Reserving a room or modality for a specific date and time requires you to create an order and schedule it. The order can be for a specific procedure or a place-holder procedure, created for this exact purpose. Using the booking procedure and possibly modifying the default time allocated, you can block out time and add details when they become available.

 

  1. Create an order containing no patient information. If the required procedure is unknown, select a stub procedure from the procedure list. If no stub procedure exists in the procedure list, ask your system administrator to create one.

  2. Assign the procedure to the room or modality for the date and time you want to reserve, as described in section Booking a Room.

  3. Adjust the time allocated to the procedure to reflect the reserved time period.
