    NOTES:

    The parameters that control the "stickman" and the timer for this are found in File, Providers, Select a provider and go to the Appointments tab of the Provider file, and can be set individually for each provider in the practice. The settings can be different per provider.

Returning a Patient to the Waiting Room

Some scenarios for returning a patient to the waiting room:

...

  2. This will open the Patient Preview window, with the patients listed:

  3. Highlight the patient whom you wish to return to the waiting room, and click the Return to waiting room button.

    Consequences to note:

    In the appointment book the patient will also be displayed as a stick person rather than as a stick person in a dental chair 'Patient in chair' icon.

    The patient will be represented on the toolbar as a stick person waiting at the door, but without any animation. i.e. the symbol does not warn you of long wait time!

    When a patient is returned to the waiting room, their 'stickman' indicator does not animate again for this appointment because animations are for patients who have arrived, and a patient who has been returned to the waiting room is no longer in the Arrived state.
